    I had some truffle bar with seville orange in dark chocolate flavor and decided to use up the rest for this. The result was a rich decadent mocha coffee with a hint of orange. It was like having another bar in a drink. Thanks!

    This is nothing short of fabulous. I used bittersweet chocolate, 1 tbsp of Splenda Brown Sugar and fat free evap milk. I didn't get the amount of froth I had expected so I dropped some whipped topping for the photo. The flavor this coffee delivers is superior to that expensive coffee house and you don't have to leave home. The next time I make this I'll make both servings and use a taller mug!
