Very,very delicious! I didn't use the cinnamon. Instead,when it was finished,added a peppermint,and it melted in the hot chocolate. Perfect mixture and taste :)

Sipping this as I write, it is quite good. I think it would be better if it had more of a cinnamon taste. If I make this again I will add some cinnamon to the cocoa mixture as well.

Super easy to make and very yummy. I used splenda and soy milk (and omitted the vanilla since it was vanilla soy milk). I also admit to using a few more marshmallows because I love em! Nice and one I'll repeat a lot this winter.

This is wonderful for the sugar challenged! I replaced the sugar with Splenda. And I'm sipping this right now and feeling totally sin free. The only reason that it's not getting 5 stars is that it's lacking the rich body that that cream gives you. However it's also not giving you the heart attack that cream gives you. I'm more than happy with the trade off.

Great recipe, I've been using something like this for a little while, using splenda as sub for sugar and no chili powder (never have any on hand) It's definitely a no guilt indulgence for something chocolatey and warm :) great before bed to relax you and get you sleepy!
