I made this for a snack today and it was pretty good. I think I will try a different syrup though as the one I used wasn't chocolate-y enough and wasn't sweet enough. This makes a lot - enough for 2 huge ones or 4 smaller ones. I omitted the whipped cream to cut some of the calories. If you are really watching those calories and fat, I would just spray on some Lower fat Reddi Whip or Fat Free Cool Whip.

I always use any leftover morning coffee for iced coffee later in the day. Just adding some sugar and creamer before putting it in the refrigerator. Sometimes I might add a squirt of Hershey's syrup to it. Nice over crushed ice on a hot Florida day!
In the cold weather I just put a package of cocoa mix right into my first hot cup of morning coffee! Nice!!
Not generally fond of iced coffee, this sounds wonderful!
