This sounds absolutely delicious and perfect for the holiday season. It also sounds really easy to make which is great!
I’m just wondering whether this recipe could be done with hot chocolate instead of coffee? Especially for the little ones who won’t be drinking coffee. Do you have any other alternatives for this recipe?
Enjoy the holidays!
