Dark'n fluffy is a chocolate cocktail lover's dream. Honestly,

one of these will take care of your daily chocolate desires, but it is well worth it. The

cocktail is not entirely chocolate and is actually a well

balanced mix of cream, Godiva liqueur, and Smirnoff Fluffed

Marshmallow Vodka. This vodka base adds an interesting twist from the standard Chocolate Martini, bringing in a subtle sweetness only found in marshmallows.
