Really delicious! The combination of chocolate, cinnamon, vanilla and a hint of chili powder (not enough to know what it is -- enough to say, "What *is* that?!") is perfection! I cut the simple syrup back to 2/3 cup each water and sugar (versus 3/4); it doesn't need to be that sweet, and improves the texture, I think.

After a Walt Disney World trip in Dec 2006 where I had to rent an electric scooter because I couldn't manage the walking, I decided to have gastric bypass surgery, which was done Feb 28, 2007. I lost 160 lbs (though I've gained back about 60 of that since). I can't eat as much as I used to, so I want every bite to be extra good!
