Can I use whole milk instead of 2%?
Yes, you may absolutely use whole milk, Emily! Of course that will change the nutritional information, but whole milk might even make for a richer flavor. Let us know how it turns out. :)
how many servings does this make???
This was the best recipe that I have tried so far. It is not too sweet it is just right. I will definitely be making this again. Thanks so much for sharing
Loved this! I made it for a cookie exchange and was so happy with how rich and chocolately it was. I’ll definitely be making this again.
How much does this yield? I want to make it for my class and not sure how much to make?
can you substitute the half&half for light cream and the 2% for 1% milk?
Made this today. Huge hit with kids and adults! Thank you!
Your printable recipe card doesn’t have the half & half in the ingredients.
Thank you for the heads up. We noticed this last week also and the recipe has now been updated.
