  1. Holy cow! 10 STARS in my book! This qualifies in the "Death By Chocolate" category. Rich, thick, creamy, and with a subtle "burn" at the back of the throat. I cut recipe down to 2 servings and used Splenda. I also cheated on the whip cream and used sugar-free Cool Whip with the cocoa powder mixed in (skipped the powdered sugar) Wasn't as "pretty" as whipped cream but tasted great :) Will be making this again! Made for Winter 2010 Comfort Cafe game.
