Notes
Notes:
Alcohol selection: Everyone is different and so choose according to your taste.
Rims: Coat rims with cocoa, sugar crystals (colored or not), shaved chocolate, or other sprinkles of your choosing. Or leave uncoated if desired.
Servings: We did not add a number of servings because some may want to keep it all for themselves. 🙂
Toppings: Toppings can be anything you'd like.....Andes candies pieces, shaved chocolate, cocoa powder, a dollop of whipped cream, or other sprinkles.
Chocolate sauce can also be drizzled inside the glass. We like to use Ghirardelli Dark Chocolate Sauce.
