Virtual Holiday Potluck – Godiva Mini Mudslide Recipe

Jump to 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?

New ink inspired by a quote in my friend @andiemmitchell amazing memoir “It Was Me All Along”. 

I tend to be an all or nothing person and look at long term and get overwhelmed instead of just taking things one day at a time. I’ve said her quote to myself multiple times a day for years. Now I’ll have a permanent reminder. 

The full quote: “Can you do it today? Can you make it through today without bingeing? Just today, and tomorrow we’ll reconsider?”

I need to go back and get a couple missed spots filled in but I love it. Thanks Rob at @irezumitattookc 🎉

Here’s a fun fact I heard on the radio several years ago…October 5th is the most popular day to be born (9 months prior is New Years Eve-ish). 🎉 

Happy birthday to all my many many birthday twins out there! It’s the big 4-8 for me…although this past year as a Covid long hauler I feel like I’ve aged 20 years in the past 1. But things are looking up! I’m excited for the next 365 days of my life. I’m blessed and so thankful to still be here, chugging along.

This picture is from last week when @kellykdoyle and I were visiting colleges in Colorado. If I have any followers with ties to @coloradostateuniversity or @cuboulder I’d love to chat!

I love being a parent of teens...but I miss the days of parenting kids who loved going to school, who didn't struggle with major anxiety, who loved their bodies, and were confident about how they looked. I miss pre-covid days where lunch wasn't distanced, kids had the opportunity to connect and socialize at school, where mask-wearing wasn't even a topic, let alone one that divides. 

The past 2 years have changed my kids. They have gained so many positive things, but they've also gained a new kind of anxiety that wasn't there before. And I hate it for them. They've seen first hand how long haul covid has changed our family. They've seen the selfishness of others in ways they haven't seen before. They've had to grow up faster, worry about things they shouldn't have to worry about, and learn the hard way how this world can really be. And it hurts my heart for them. 

I have a new senior, sophomore and 6th grader here at home. Missing my sophomore in college a ton. I hope the world is kind to them and they are kind to the world. I want nothing more than for them to be happy and to be surrounded by good people who love and accept them for who they are and who also push them to live a full, rich and happy life. I pray every day for them - and for your kids...and pray that we are all raising a generation of empathetic and kind changemakers.

I was a “houseplant lady” before the pandemic, but I think since the pandemic I get to add the word “crazy” to that title. So. Many. Plants. I’m not mad about it!

This weekend @kctinygreenhouse I picked up this beautiful Monstera Peru as well as a bag of Jeff’s Jungle Mix. You know when a new to you potting mix has you super excited, you’ve crossed the line into la la land 😂 Swipe to see how pretty it is!

Can’t believe we’re doing the college tour thing already with my second baby! 

So question for any of you who sent your kids to out of state schools or went to out of state schools...how did you do it? She wants to get the heck out of Kansas (I’d like to go with her!). We have money saved, she’ll most likely get a scholarship or two, she’s paying and has money saved as well...but even with that out of state tuition is a beast of an amount. So, did you just assume that student loans were going to be part of that life? And is that worth it to give your kids a shot at a new life outside of your home state? I wish I would have left Kansas for university, and have been here since I was born 😩. I want different for her if that’s what she wants but also just don’t have any experience with how people do out of state college! Any tips?

My friend @wakschmale makes the best strawberry jam...and I completely forgot about a jar she gave me last year until this morning. Which then inspired me to make my favorite buttermilk biscuits. So so good. Are you a jam, honey, just butter or plain biscuit fan? I love biscuits allll the ways, except with gravy. I have super bad memories of biscuits and gravy growing up. 🤢

I is for Inspiration!
.
The “long haul” effects of having Covid back in December are really presenting themselves lately. The continuous persistent headaches are taking a toll and the connection between the brain fog and word retrieval function of my brain has been extra challenging. I had no idea a couple months out, the cognitive effects would still be hanging around.
.
With that said, when I get a burst of inspiration I’m grabbing on for dear life. I made our favorite chocolate chip cookies recipe yesterday and felt the desire to update the blog post photos from 2007! We make these cookies all the time, so I’m not sure why it’s taken me so many years to give that poor post some new photos.
.
If you’re interested in the recipe you can find the link currently in my profile. Enjoy!!

G is for...oh so grateful!

I flew to South Texas yesterday to visit my parents whom I haven’t seen in 2 years. They live around 17 hours away from us. We typical get to see each other a few times a year but with the pandemic and other health issues it just wasn’t able to happen and I’ve missed them soooo much.

Grateful to have had COVID last month. Although it was not at all fun, it gave me the antibodies to make this trip possible. My dad is having surgery tomorrow so I’m helping with my mom so my dad can recover without having to worry about her.

Kansas is enjoying frigid temperatures and snow. I picked a great week to head south.

This time of year especially, food photography (and I guess all photography actually) is a tug of war with time and light. I had planned on making and photographing a delicious pasta recipe, but my grocery delivery ran a couple of hours late because of snowstorm. So, at the eleventh hour I decided to make a cake...that took over an hour to bake and I had about 90 minutes of natural light left...leaving me with about 30 minutes of ok light to work with.
.
Anyway, this wouldn't work for a client shoot because the cake, although delicious, didn't turn out looking so great. But it will work great for today's F photo for the @kimklassen_innercircle A-Z photo project:) Lemon Citrus Yogurt Cake from this weeks @cabotcheese newsletter. So good!
