    I love thick hot chocolate, so we added a little more chocolate and left out the rum for the kiddos. We also added a few marshmallows. Yummy! I think me and the hubby will try it later with the rum. ;

    Delicious recipe. I added 3 star anise peices, and used some spiced rum. Definitely needed more than a tablespoon of rum per cup though.

    I didn't have any brown sugar on hand, so instead I used a teaspoon of molassas. Very good.

    Slightly rich though. Next time I'll probably use a bit less chocolate. Felt a bit too heavy.

    Great hot chocolate. I would cut the chocolate a little as it is a bit thick for my taste. Nevertheless, a great flavor.

    this is perfect for a chilly night. I brought this for a movie-in-the-park night in San Francisco and everyone lapped it up. The addition of the rum is key as it adds a little kick but not enough to get buzzed. I added 1 T or so of espresso powder to enhance the chocolate taste. Perfect!

    Reminds me of the exquisite hot chocolate I tasted in Paris, and chocolate in any form doesn't get much better than that. You have to try this!

    I didn't have any dark rum at the time I made it so I improvised and used Cruzan vanilla rum. The best hot chocolate I ever had!!!

    Any lover of hot chocolate NEEDS this. But a warning once you taste this there is no way you can go back to instant. Lovely to have when people come over (just pre measure everything in saucepan then voila easy to melt when ready. I like it without alcohol but if you don't have rum just experiment with whatever alcohol you have - its great with brandy, whiskey - whatever you have try it.
    Can't believe the taste of the recipe just perfection all together.
