All you do is take a glass of coke and add 1-2 tablespoons of chocolate syrup(according to taste). Some people add more than that, but I like just a hint of chocolate. Let me know what you think if you try it. :)<br /><br />As the Crowe Flies and Reads,<br />Yep, freelance editors who had awesome credentials. It did cost a bit, but I don't think I'd be where I'm at without them.
