  • “Yummy!Loved the taste and smell of the cinnamon shnapps added to the chocolate.I, also, cut the recipe down to 2 servings, but wished I had made the full recipe.Will have this again.Thnx for sharing your recipe, Miss Erin.Made for Comfort Cafe Snow Queen Chalet Jan 2010.”

  • “This is lovely! I cut it down to one serving and used Hershey’s Special Dark cocoa and fat free milk. Also only used 1/2 oz of (hot) cinnamon schnapps because I didn’t want the cocoa to be overwhelmed. Skipped the whipped cream to keep it very low fat. Thanks for posting!”

  • “This is wonderful! I just love the cinnamon schnapps in it! So good and easy to make. I halved the recipe for DH and I. Very good!”

  • “Just what I needed. I do not like cinnamon, so I used peppemint schapps instead, with a slash of Brendon’s Irish cream. I used regular cocoa powder and black cocoa powder. I topped it with a tablespoon of frozen cool whip. Thanks for the recipe.”

  • “Another adaptationthat I learned from my MIL is this:Instead of cinnamon schnapps, use peppermint.Add 1 scoop of vanilla ice cream to each mug.Now, you have a Hot Alpine!”
