(I'm actually kind of pleased with how this picture turned out :D)
...So, this recipe hit a few little snags, but other than that, it was both really good and (relatively) easy. The mixture of each of the chocolate had very little alcohol, so you could barely taste it (the fact of which my family loved). One of the problems that happened first was finding the alcohols to use. See, my family has an extremely small collection of booze, and even that is only used when guests come. So, we had one of the vodkas needed-rasberry flavored, for the dark chocolate mix)- but were missing the vanilla- and chocolate (Godiva)- liqeuor. We went to Winco in search of small, cheap bottles considering we only needed two tablespoons of each. We found neither. They only had regular-size bottles, and they each cost $20. Not willing to pay the price (and I don't blame her), my mom got the idea of using Kahlua instead of the vanilla liqeuor and mixing chocolate coffee creamer with vodka in place of the Godiva. So, that's what I did (although I made the cream/vodka mixture more creamer)- and it turned out totally fine. Who says you need the right kind of booze to make something delicious?
The second little mishap came with the milk chocolate and white chocolate mixtures. Each layer had to be creamed until thick, and the first- the dark chocolate- came out exactly as it should. When I tried the milk chocolate, however, it didn't thicken as easily. Seeing it not going anywhere, I thought perhaps that was the consistency it was supposed to have, poured it into the glasses along with the first layer, and moved on. The white chocolate, however, did the exact same thing. The layers are supposed to be just that: layered. But when I poured the third in, well.... It sank into the second. This ruined one of my final plans, which was to make the desserts look pretty with three chocolate chips (white, milk, and dark; these sank like quick sand D:>). The problem, I realized later, was that I didn't use a whisk, just a normal beater. Anywho, as I said before, it turned out really good anyway. My dad even said it was his favorite so far- and he's the one that hates alcohol the most. In conclusion, yes, it was good enough to make again :)
