Here's something to warm you on a cold damp night!

If you're on a diet, close your eyes and you won't see the calories!

Mix together;

1lb butter
1lb dark brown sugar
1lb icing sugar
1qt vanilla ice cream
1tsp nutmeg (optional)
1tsp cinnamon (optional)

Freeze mixture.

To make up the hot buttered rum, put three or more Tbs of the mixture in a mug. Add a jigger or so of rum. (My hand usually slips to the "or so" mark at this stage!)
Top up with boiling water, stir and enjoy.

Best served in subdued lighting, ie candles or firelight, whilst sitting next to someone dearto you!
Soft background music enhances the effects of the beverage also! wink

ooooh! This looks gooood!! I think I'll make some for my honey and I this Saturday night.. wink

This will be something nice and relaxing to lead into the busy holiday season (in-laws arriving on Sunday eek )

Thanks Mel!

Michelle smile

Cheers Michelle!

This recipe has become a holiday tradition for me since I first discovered it! Just keep the mix in the freezer and you can make your hot drink in the time it takes the water to boil! razz

Enjoy!
