Very yum! I did double the honey, sugar and vanilla.

So yummy! Even my boyfriend who doesn't like hot drinks thought this was very good! The rum is what really makes it stand out, and I also liked the idea of using some honey, instead of only sugar.

Rich, Hot, Rummy loved it. Very easy to make lovely after dinner instead of desert. Thanks for sharing

Very rich and creamy! The flavor of the rum really stands out without being overly alcoholish, if you know what I mean. In the showdown of French vs. British in the two chocolates I have tried these last couple of days, Nigella wins it hands down, even though the other chocolate was extremely good! Thanks for posting, Mme. Melissa!
