There is the recipe I use well I do change a few things here and there like the whisky won't find any of that in my house so this time I added creme de menthe as that is what was in the cupboard. If I had any Bailey's I would have put that in... and on the top I had a chocolate sauce I made with choc, cream and butter then on top of that I put cream(slipped with the icing sugar) with flakes of choc....
