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!!
Thanks again for visiting 🙂
