I love this recipe, but I had to make a change. I didn't have any Creme de cacao, but I did have Tippy Cow & it was really good. Next time I'll have to get creme de cacao & see how it would be with that. This recipe is a keeper.

This is THE perfect grasshopper recipe! Some of them are overpoweringly minty, but this one is just right! Instead of ice cube I used a generous dash of half and half. Worked perfectly. My Dad asked me to add mini schoclate chips next time, and I told him just for him I woudl do it! I think he is anxiously waiting for me to make them again! :)

Wow, this was just about perfect for my tastebuds! It reminded me a bit of a much better and naughty version of the Shamrock shakes I used to get as a kid from McDonald's on St. Patricks Day. I just dusted the top of mine with a tiny bit of chocolate powder. Made for vegetarian tag.

This is wonderful as a dessert or just for a tasty treat. I added a bit more of the creme de menthe as I tend to like a bit stronger mint flavor.
