I made it exactly to recipe, and it was very watery and had a very unusual after taste. Very disappointed!

Uh oh, my bad...didn't notice that part of the whipped topping was to be reserved and mixed w/the chocolate...

This was fairly simple to make, however we aren't big "eggnog" fans and didn't enjoy that taste.

Made this for the family Christamas dinner desert. EVERYONE loved it. I used the eggnog inplace of the milk and did not use the extract.

This was great! Easy to do, and very yummy! My holiday guests loved it. As far as the Cool Whip - yes 1 tub is enough. Yes, it's 8 oz, but 8 oz is only 1 cup when measuring liquids. Use your measuring cups to measure out the required amounts for each part and 1 tub is what you need. I'll be making this at Christmas again!!

Very easy. Nice flavor, not to strong.
