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!

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!!
Thanks again for visiting 🙂

January 24, 2010 at 2:11 pmOne 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.
