When I saw this recipe I almost didn’t try it. The original title, ” Alcoholic Hot Chocolate”, sounded like hot chocolate for people with a drinking problem? Hot chocolate for alcoholics! I’m sure I’m the only one that read the title that way but, read it that way, I did. I’m so glad I tried this. It was so deeelicious I was really blown away by this. The combo of honey, cinnamon, and the rum created a lot of subtle nuances that I didn’t expect. I was surprised. I wanted to change the name still, so I did. Enjoy!

Ooh honey cinnamon and rum, what a wonderful combination. How uncreative of me to only think of ever putting peppermint schnapps in my hot cocoa. This is great!

Thanks for visiting my blog! After reading your “about me” I realized we both have two kids in college :)one of my daughters will graduate this May, and the youngest is in her second year. My youngest one loves to cook on the weekends with her boyfriend. They choose a recipe sometimes, from my HUGE collection of cookbooks, and cook away. I too have a cookbook addiction. a …I just can't seem to stop!!

Your title sounds way more appealing! Rum and chocolate does=yummy!
I don't think I've had rum in hot chocolate – I'm a kahlua and hot chocolate girl myself.
Oh wow! I think that this sounds just perfect! This must be what alcoholics enjoy after sledding. lol. Okay, maybe I shouldn't “lol” Alcoholism is not funny. But c'mon…alcoholic sledders? Can you get an S.U.I? : )
sounds wonderful and oh I love the tea cup
This rum hot chocolate looks and sounds delicious. Perfect for a cold when you need to feel a bit better-great for a rainy day. This is wonderful.
I like your recipe name much better! It looks delicious–anything with chocolate and rum must be good. 😉

I would never have thought to put rum in hot chocolate. I do love watching Nigella Lawson!

Mmm, what a great way to warm up! It is pouring (cold) rain here. This would be the perfect way to fend off the chill.
Yuuuuuuuuuuum.
And thanks for visiting from SITS!
I have almost the exact same thing, but I used coconut rum for just one little extra bit of flavor…
But I do like the old name… giggles
I don't like rum per say but in This hot chocolate drink, it sure sounds wonderful!!!!

Oh my, would I love a cup or two of this amazing hot chocolate. It would hit the spot and ward off the damp cold rainy day blues…
LOL – loved how you changed the name! The hot chocolate sounds delicious and your cup and saucer are very pretty too 😀
Awrighty – you make my kinda hot chocolate! That sounds amazingly good, and comforting for a cold evening.
Thanks for the comments on my blog Kathleen 🙂
One thing I learned from a recent trip to Vermont without water. Was that sometimes you need to add alcohol to hot chocolate. Just to get through a rough time. Rum would be delicious in it! Everclear also does the trick.
Rum flavoured chocolate drink is just soothing and comforting for any time of the year!
ha ha I liked reading about this chocolate. I don't drink at all but I can see how the rum could make a difference. 🙂
I also overlooked the recipe because of the title 🙂 I like Yummy Rummy Hot Chocolate a lot better! Sounds so warm and comforting.
This looks like a very comforting hot chocolate. I love the title!
That sounds delicious. I love hot chocolate too.
Yum, I think anything with chocolate and rum must be good for you, right? Ha ha!!!
Hugs,
