    This was a nice drink that I didn't exactly make as written. I used 1% milk as that is what I had on hand and I used regular sugar but skipped the whipped topping. This is another way to get me to drink milk, which I think is disgusting so anything that masks the flavour is a plus. I would also like to try this with soy milk. Thanks for posting!

    Loved this! I doubled it and made it to drink at my daughter's gymnastics class. Honestly, I drank it all before we got to class. (She had some too so it wasn't all my fault!) Made it with the proportions listed and it was perfect but I like things really sweet. The cinnamon really sealed the deal on this one for me. Lovely and one I'll make over and over again.

    A lovely change from chocolate. I used 1 cup of milk (1/2 skim and 1/2 fat free evaporated) and that gave me 2/3 to 3/4 of a mug. I found that the 2 teaspoons Splenda was a bit sweeter than I prefer. Next time I'll make it with 1 and add a bit if needed. I didn't want to make a trip to the store for the whipped topping but it would be very good indeed on this. Think I'd better stock up on milk!
