Reviews

  1. Why has this not been reviewed before? it's a delight. I did use canned chocolate whipped cream as I just made one cup for myself. I added the peppermint to the hot chocolate. This is was delicious and a true pleasure. Made for Comfort Cafe, Jan 2010.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

With 5 kids and a hungry husband to feed, I'm always looking for good, budget friendly meals. We generally eat meals that use little meat (I try to use 1 lb or less per dinner, and none the rest of day), so that means lots of casseroles and meats with gravy. I enjoy baking, so bread recipes and desserts tend to get saved more frequently than others. I'm especially partial to chocolate and lemon (although not together).
