I am sure that it is no secret that I love wowing my guests. This sippable decadence was created for a Supper Club event. After the meal when everyone was joking about not eating a thing, I brought the pot filled with this elixir and a bowl of ginormous marshmallows. Miraculously, every drop was consumed and 5 of the guests left with the recipe. I made this a Hostess Weapon with the use of the slow cooker. You can get everything ready and have it holding for you. If you want it ready to serve, no problem. Just make it in a Dutch oven and serve by ladelling into greedy mugs or café au lait bowls.
