Another coffee winner from Annacia! Loved the chocolate and rum combo, without having to use rum. I used a dark cocoa powder and Splenda. Used my microwave milk frother to "whip" up the milk for a little foam on the top. Will try Toni's iced version soon!

Anything that helps me get a serving of dairy and enjoy it is 5-stars all the way. My version, with the posting chef's permission, was iced and delicious. Loved the light rum taste from the extract combined with the creamy chocolate flavor. To incorporate the cocoa, I whisked the powder together with 2 tablespoons of milk to form a thin paste/slurry then added the rest of the milk. Mine had the 1 1/2 tablespoons but I would suggest a little less in the cold version. Thanks!
