Chocolate Rum Pots

Submitted by CosmicCookie

"I made these Chocolate Rum Pots for one of my mother's parties, and everyone loved them! They are especially good for big get-togethers, because you can make a double or triple recipe with no extra effort. I have also made them a few times using imitation rum extract, and they come out tasting delicious! If you are going to use rum extract the conversion is 1 and 1/2 tbsp Extract for every 1 tbsp Dark Rum. Hope you enjoy! (Note: Cooking time is actually time needed for refrigeration.)"

What a delicious dessert! I prepared this as written using plain whipped cream for the decoration in deference to one of the people who were to eat this. Next time I'll be making the flavoured whipped cream. Thanks for posting. Made for Spring09PAC.
