written request (a postcard is fine) to:

The Recipe Book has 12 different categories of recipes, all using Kahlua, and
is worth well more than the price of a stamp! I can personally vouch only
for the Kahlua Creamy Fudge, but if it is representative, then everything in
here is TDF.

P.S. I suspect that any other similar liquer (Amaretto, Tia Maria, even
Grand Marnier) could be substituted if that is your personal preference.
