Notes

Notes
Nutritional information included does not include alcohol
If you are a mint chocolate fan, try adding mint extract in place of the vanilla.  Add ½ teaspoon at a time until desired mint level is reached. 
UPDATE as of 12/23: 
Godiva, the brand of chocolate liquor that I have always used in this recipe, has been discontinued.  There are lots of other brands of to try though 😉
