This is very rich and chocolaty. I cut it down to one serving and used Hershey's Special Dark cocoa (what I had) and skim milk. I did think it could use a little more sugar but that could be due to the dark cocoa that I used (or just my super sweet tooth). Thanks for the recipe!

Very rich and tasty. I made it with soy milk, which did not work out well at all. But, when I added a little real milk the taste improved so much that I just KNOW that this would be perfect if made with real milk.
