One 25-calorie packet hot cocoa mix (like Swiss Miss Diet or Nestlé Fat Free)

1 1/2 oz. (3 tbsp.) vodka
1/2 oz. (1 tbsp.) sugar-free calorie-free vanilla-flavored syrup (like the kind by Torani)
1 tsp. light chocolate syrup
1 cup crushed ice or 5 to 8 ice cubes
Optional topping: Fat Free Reddi-wip

Directions:
Combine cocoa mix with sweetener in a glass. Add 2 oz. (1/4 cup) hot water and stir to dissolve. Add soymilk and 1 oz. (2 tbsp.) cold water. Stir and transfer to a blender.

Chocolate Mudslide, Average

Don't kid yourself into thinking that you're killing two birds with one stone by ordering a drink that doubles as dessert -- this drink has an entire meal's worth of calories! It's not surprising, when you really think about it... Your average mudslide is made with vodka, creamy liqueurs, chocolate syrup, and the occasional mystery ingredient. (Ice cream? Heavy cream? Bacon?! Okay, probably not bacon.) Plus, mudslides are often ginormous and served in fishbowl-sized glasses. Who knows how many shots of booze could be hiding in that blended sludge? This stuff is bad news! The safest possible way to indulge? With our slimmed-down recipe, of course! It's FULL of chocolatey goodness with a grown-up twist, not unnecessary calories and fat grams. We'll drink to that!
