This classic cocktail is a dangerous concoction. Mixing brandy, cream, and crème de cacoa, it's as sweet as a milkshake, and strong enough to pack a punch. We love serving them with a variety of elegant Halloween appetizers in cute, easy-to-make dripping-rim cups. The cups can be made and chilled ahead, making these easy to serve!
