Sorry to be a kvetch, but if Kahlua is in the title, shouldn’t it be included in the recipe?
Thanks for adding the Kahlua
thanks for noticing! wouldn’t want you to be Kahlua-less!
Oh boy, Oh boy!
I can’t wait to try this!!
Chocolate.
Heat.
Spirits.
All in one great treat.
Wow. OK. Made it.
You may want to cut down on the cayenne just a bit. I used the lesser of the two suggested amounts and it packed a WALLOP!
lol if you can’t take the heat… JK so then let’s recommend a pinch of cayenne to make it more tame!
This sounds so yummy! This is sure to warm me up on a cold winter night. And the Kahlua is not optional in my book!
What brand of Kahlua is kosher? Is it parve? Where can you buy it in Southern California?
