    Oh, yeah! Just what the chocoholic ordered! I opted out of the whipped cream, just because I usually end up stirring it in, & I didn't want to dilute the chocolate one bit! Absolutely great tasting {I should know, 'cause I drank it all, over a short period of time! Thanks for the posting! Made for Cupid's Choice Beverage Tag Game

    Scaled this down to enjoy all by my lonesome today. It was lovely. If you scale back, you may want to beat the tiny amount of cream with an immersion blender - I have a special kind of wand that did the trick. The dusting of cinnamon over top was a treat.
