this is very good, and since I used a huge mug, it served 2. Indeed, VERY strong coffee is needed here to counteract the sweetness of the white chocolate. DH found it too sweet and too rich that we had to dilute it a bit more with water and coffee. I love the addition of nutmegs in it and grated chocolate sprinkles too.Made for PAC Fall 2008.
