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!

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!
