Bittersweet and Kahlua, how could you miss? I used 1/2 an ounce of Kahlua for a single serving and that was a good amount for me. It hit the spot perfectly on this cold January afternoon. This top notch creation will be romantic for two by the fireside and make guests feel pampered. Yummmm. Made for Comfort Cafe, Jan 09.
