Friends I have an amazing recipe for you today. Our friend Shelley made this for Halloween and since it was so cold up here in New England...it truly helped to warm our insides! It was so so delicious and buttery and so good I was obsessed after the first sip! I have decided to make it for Thanksgiving...in the morning to help warm up after our Turkey Trot and later in the day when everyone is getting sleepy after an amazing turkey dinner.
Shelley kept hers hot in a carafe...I think I will do the same or even keep it hot in our slow cooker. You need to make this....I guarantee love at first sip!

Ohhh, thanks for sharing, Holly! I need to ask my MIL & FIL if they'd like this and we can have it on Thanksgiving too.
This drink sounds like fall perfection!! Would be perfect for the next cool and cozy night at home.
I have a hot apple cider with bourbon recipe I got from a friend and love. If I liked rum, I'd definitely try this because it sounds really good!
