Virtual Holiday Potluck – Godiva Mini Mudslide Recipe

If you are looking for a festive cocktail to impress your chocolate loving friends this holiday season, look no further than this Godiva Mini Mudslide recipe. Fun, festive and perfect to spread the holiday cheer! 

This post was originally shared on December 6th, 2011. Since it’s one of my favorite holiday cocktail recipes, I wanted to share it with you again!

So, I kind of made a cocktail for a BRUNCH party! It was an innocent mistake, honestly. When I signed up to participate in the Virtual Holiday Potluck with some blogger friends, I failed to notice the word “BRUNCH” in the title. I just was thinking holiday, friends, chocolate, cocktails! What’s more fun than sharing a Godiva Mudslide Recipe for a festive holiday occasion? Not much, I say…not much. 

I’m going to just pretend that our holiday brunch was so much fun that everyone stayed until late in the afternoon, and it was THEN that I served the cocktails. Not at normal brunch time. That’s it. That’s what happened.

Plus, mimosa’s shouldn’t get all the brunch time fun, right? Why can’t a mudslide, margarita, pina colada or martini be an acceptable brunch time cocktail? I think it’s time right now to change what cocktails are acceptable at brunch, starting with this Godiva Mudslide Recipe!

We have a great lineup of brunch recipes for you to check out! You can see all the submissions below the recipe. Most of them are very holiday BRUNCH appropriate. I hope you’ll visit all the blogs and see what tasty treats they contributed.

In the meantime, here is my Godiva Mini Mudslide Recipe. If you are feeling guilty for serving a mudslide recipe at brunch, don’t worry. You can go ahead and serve the cocktails in tiny martini glasses to make you feel better.  However, since I think mudslides are perfectly acceptable for a brunch cocktail, I say serve ’em big!  Enjoy!

Keys to Perfecting This Godiva Mudslide Recipe

First things first…you’ve got to use quality ingredients for this mudslide recipe to be the absolute best. Godiva has a chocolate vodka that’s perfect for this cocktail. I wouldn’t stray away from it, to be honest. Also, you can’t go wrong with Bailey’s Irish Cream liqueur for that dreamy creamy flavor.

For the chocolate syrup, you can definitely use traditional Hershey’s syrup. However, if you want truly decadent flavor, I can’t recommend this Ghiradelli Chocolate Sauce enough. This sauce adds a dimension of richness that really takes this mudslide recipe up a notch. If you prefer a homemade recipe, I believe Annetta’s Hot Fudge Sauce is the best there is.

Now, for the vanilla ice cream, choose a brand that uses real vanilla beans vs vanilla flavor. You may not think there’s a difference, but the end result will prove there is.

Finally, this mudslide recipe is slightly different than a traditional, fully frozen mudslide. It’s creamier and sip-able. No straw needed! Because of this, you’ll want to make sure the cocktail is well blended until smooth. This may require you to do a “double blend” for perfect results.

Edible glitter is a fun and festive garnish, but a dollop of whipped cream will do as well. Or heck, try both! This edible glitter in Ruby Red is an excellent choice for your holiday cocktails.

OK friends, that’s it for my tips for nailing this Godiva Mudslide Recipe! I hope you enjoy sipping on these and sharing them with friends over the holiday season. While you are here, make sure to check out the Virtual Holiday Brunch Potluck recipes below. There’s definitely something for everyone! Happy Holidays!

    So I kind of think this was the perfect mistake. So much more up my alley than tomato juice and vodka and that’s standard brunch fare right?

    Kristen, thank you for such an amazing recipe and sharing the keys to perfecting this! All of your tips will surely help me a lot. I’m saving this for later. Such treasure. Dying to give these cocktails a try and share these with my friends. I’ll probably make these for our next party. Hope everyone will enjoy sipping on these. Look forward to your new ideas.
    p.s. I’d be grateful if you’d share with me a few similar recipes for nice cocktails. Can I find anything like these on your blog?

Have you ever been creatively stuck?

December 2019 my absolute favorite camera lens fell out of the cabinet I keep it in and shattered in a million pieces. I cried for days and days. I barely picked up my DSLR in 2020 because I just felt so uninspired. I couldn’t get the shots I was visualizing in my head with the lenses I had. 
.
Nick and the kids replaced my favorite lens as a Christmas gift and I’m ecstatic to be shooting again! I joined my incredibly talented friend @kimklassen creative photography Inner Circle for extra inspiration this year. Assignment 1 out of the gate and I already feel eager and excited about photography again! (You can see my “tell a story through multiples” in my Instagram story.)
.
Three cheers for bursting with inspiration again, after all this time.

Last year I couldn’t believe I was old enough to have an 18 year old. This year I look in the mirror and see someone old enough to have a 19 year old. This past year has been a lot and man, it has physically aged me! But one things solid and firm...I love my kids and am so proud of them! The resilience Jacob has shown this past year has impressed me...”graduating” high school, starting college, all when things have been so up in the air and unsure. And never once complaining about it. My kids haven’t lost a thing this year...instead they’ve gained so much they wouldn’t have gained without this experience. I’m so proud to be their mom. Happy 19th birthday @jacobdoyle02 We are fiercely proud of you and love you so much!

This is the recipe my sister-in-law uses and it is the BEST tasting, no fail sugar cookie recipe. It’s from a really old issue of @tasteofhome magazine with a frosting recipe she wrote down in the margin. I could eat so many of these and never get tired of them! If you want the recipe let me know and I’ll dm you the picture! Is making decorated cut out cookies one of your Christmas traditions?

It’s a book giveaway! I often get people asking me for book recommendations. Talking books is one of my favorite things to do! So when @librofm gave me the opportunity to give away three audio copies of any audiobook I wanted to, I knew immediately which book I wanted to share.
.
@roblowe book, Stories I Only Tell My Friends is the audiobook I recommend to EVERYONE. It is a book I listened to years ago, not expecting to love it, but I absolutely did. First of all, Rob Lowe narrates...so there’s that lovely bonus. But Stories I Only Tell My Friends is a funny, raw, emotional, informative, peek inside of the life of a really fascinating celebrity.
.
I wasn’t a Rob Lowe super fan before. I haven’t watched West Wing (I know, I know), Brothers & Sisters, Parks & Rec, or any of his TV shows, but I have always been a HUGE Brat Pack fan. Well, after listening to this audiobook I am a big fan (and his other audiobook, Love Life, is great too).
.
Long story short, I have three codes through @librofm to give to 3 people. To enter, leave a comment on this post by midnight CST on 12/16 telling me what your favorite audiobook is and why! Also, definitely check out Libro.fm - the best audiobook platform that also gives back to local bookstores!

If S.A.D is something you worry about each year, but especially this year, let me introduce you to my seasonal affective disorder game changer, the @sunrisesensations light therapy lamp. I ordered one of these lamps last year at the recommendation of my friend @leslieradams and it is the best (& most stylish) light therapy lamp I’ve ever used. I absolutely love it and highly recommend it...it’s well worth the money.
.
@sunrisesensations has a new, smaller lamp called Bright Box. The size snd functionality is perfect for a nightstand or office desk. Let me know if you have any questions about how these lamps continue to help me fight those pesky winter blues! Check out Sunrise Sensations to find the right UV free light therapy box for you!

With Libro.fm you can financially support your local bookstore AND buy audiobooks all at the same time. Each audiobook purchase supports the independent book store of your choice! Do it for yourself and buy some audiobooks for friends too!
.

If you need audiobook ideas, hit me up. I’ve listened to so many great books this year that will make it on my top favorites list, including Greenlights by @officiallymcconaughey It’s narrated by the author and is so worth the listen! Your ears will thank you!
.
PS my favorite #localbookstore @rainydaybooks is under renovation which makes it even better that I can still safely support them from the comfort of my own home!
