MMMMMMMM Yummy !!! I had 2 cups along with kittencal's Chocolate Peanut Butter Double Chip Cookies for a decedent afternoon snack. Doesn't get any better than this, LIfe is GOOOOD !!! I am the only coffee drinker in the house, so I put the rest in a milk bottle and refrigererated it over night. I tried it cold this morning and it is really good. Tastes better then Starbucks coffee mocha in little jars from the supermarket and a lot cheaper !!! It also tastes good reheated in the microwave. I will be making this often.

oh my...so delicious! I treat coffee as a treat, and like my coffee sweet, but hate buying those chemical-laden creamers from the store. This was a perfect fit for me. I halved the recipe, because I'm the only coffee drinker in the house. I didnt have any semisweet chocolate so I used 1 1/2 tablespoons cocoa powder. I have a new addiction. Thank you littleturtle!

What a lovely cup on this cold morning! The full cup of half n half scared me a bit so I used half that amount and topped off with 2% milk; turned out just fine. Thanks!

Top marks for a delightful coffee. I made 1 cup and used 1/4 oz of unsweetened chocolate and Splenda to sweeten, the half and half became fat free evaporated milk. The chocolate didn't totally blend into the coffee but gave me soft tiny chocolate blobs in the bottom of my cup which were a great finish to this lovely treat.
