A huge hit with my guests!

I would cut the vodka by 1/4 but besides that it was ok it didn’t really bring that Milky Way flavor though I think u should use the salted caramel baileys for that
Lisa Edwards
Try it with Smirnoff caramel and a splash of cream-heaven.

I have made this for several dinner parties and it was a rave success every time. The last party I had I used S’Mores vodka and caramel Irish cream and called it Mars Martini. It was also a great hit.
Heather Rodriguez
Only for those that like very strong drinks.
Wesley Lopez

Diane Mcneil
No complaints here.
Alyssa Villarreal
Perfect way to end a meal! Will make this again, thanks Kaiti!

I thought this had way to much of a taste of vodka or it was just way too strong. I didn’t quite understand the point of adding ice or water to the cup. They can just be put in the freezer to get cold beforehand. The 1 Tblsp. of chocolate would be way too much to. I found, from another recipe, it is easier to just dab the rim of the cup in some chocolate then to try to drizzle it all over the cup. It is a lot less messy. I ended up having to fix this, to cut through the strong alcohol taste.

We sampled two different chocolate martini’s for a chocolate themed party, and this was the hand’s down favorite. It’s powerful, so I think just a taste is the best way to enjoy. We made the full servings but split them between more people. A very ‘chocolatey’ martini, creamy and sweet. The chocolate drizzle made a very pretty presentation.

OH, My Goodness! We enjoyed this very much. We will make this again for friends. Thanks for sharing this recipe.

Well, I started making these for my friends but they were so good I pretty much drank all of them! It’s like a dessert in a glass. You can’t taste the alcohol at all, which makes them dangerous. I have now given this recipe to some friends and they agree that these are addicting!

I did tweak it a little by adding some cream and caramel. Having it for a Christmas party this year.
Jennifer Wagner
Yum!
Eric Fields
Very good dessert martini, strong but not too strong. Leave out chocolate sauce if you don’t want them to be too sweet.
Alexandra Palmer
Holy cow, these were good. Perfect for our girl’s night.
Natalie Thompson
Oh really good as written! we all loved it–it is dessert, no question.
Ashley Willis
Excellent and sweet
Ruben Moore
Very good, but strong. My husband suggested cutting down the vodka. Not sure why it is called a Milky Way. May have to try with caramel. A good drink though.
Victor Delacruz
YUM! This was really good. I also tried it drizzled over vanilla ice cream. Next I’m going to try it mixed in the blender with the ice cream. I think this is good one to play around with!
Eric Cruz
Delicious…I am enjoying it right now… I love sweet drinks. Did not change anything in the recipe.
