Boxing Day Treat!

Merry Day After Christmas!

I hope you all have had a wonderful Christmas with your loved ones. Enjoying all the yummies and celebrating the true meaning of Christmas. Now that all the busyness has died down, lets enjoy boxing day. I always loved the idea of this holiday, its like a recovery day from the celebrations. A nice quiet day to relax.

In this weather, all rainy and chilly it feels wonderful to curl up with a cup of hot chocolate. So today I want to share a recipe for my "Spiked and Spiced White Hot Chocolate".

Spiked and Spiced White Hot Chocolate

SERVES 4

4 cups of  half and half (or milk even almond milk is super delicious in this)
8ozs chopped white chocolate
1 tsp vanilla extract
1/2  tsp ground nutmeg
1/2 tsp ground cinnamon
3ozs brown rum
Marshmallows and nutmeg for topping

Method:
In a saucepan bring half & half or milk to a simmer. Add chopped chocolate, vanilla and spices and stir until chocolate is dissolved. Remove from heat and add rum. Serve immediately topped with marshmallows and a sprinkle of nutmeg.

Now just grab a blanket and cuddle up by the tree with a good book or movie!

Merry Christmas All! Lots of love from Jo & Ed
