Rumchata Hot Chocolate Recipe!

December 3, 2013

A few years ago I was convinced me to make some hot chocolate for a Thanksgiving Turkey Bowl game and I decided to make it a more fun and alcoholic recipe! 

It is actually pretty simple and I promise that anyone who tries it will love it!

*These are not the right cans but I forgot to get a picture with the right ones.

Rumchata Hot Chocolate

Ingredients:   

  • 1 Bottle of Rumchata (750 ml)
  • 2 Cans of Sweetened Condensed Milk
  • 1 Carton of Heavy Whipping Cream
  • 2 bags of Andes Mints Chips (or two packs of broken up mints)
  • 4 Cups of Milk

I would suggest using a crock pot but you could let it simmer in a pot on the stovetop for 2 hours(but be careful to watch it doesn’t burn)   

The night (or a few hours) before mix the Rumchata and chocolate in the crock pot and let it sit overnight.

In a separate container mix all the dairy ingredients together and let them sit in the fridge overnight(or for a few hours) as well.

When ready pour the dairy mix into the crock pot and let it cook for 2 hours on HIGH.         

This has been a hit many times over now and I always recommend it for a hot boozey drink!

On Holiday Weekends!

December 2, 2013

Seeing as how I had a 5 day weekend you would think I would have blogged Weds-Friday but instead I did my very best to avoid going anywhere near the computer. I spend a lot of time staring at a screen and my eyes were so thankful for a break.

So a quick recap of my weekend:

Weds…sleeping in…making cookies and Rumchata hot chocolate prep for Thanksgiving. (Tomorrow I plan to post the recipe for the Rumchata hot chocolate and you all may just love me forever)

Thanksgiving was great….very low key and different from the previous years. We got up and ran the Turkey Day 5k in the morning… My sister went to Louisiana with her boyfriend and my nephew so my parents, brother & I went to an aunts house and enjoyed way too much food! 

Friday I finally got to see Catching Fire and it was amazing as expected. I really need to work on my bladder issues. I peed right before the movie started and really avoiding drinking anything and still felt like I might burst before the movie ended. 

Saturday & Sunday was a lot of downtime and just enjoying the nicer weather we had. I went to a Friendsgiving for The Boys friends, had a lunch catch up with Snifferella and decorated the tree at my Mrs. M’s with my siblings….



How was your Thanksgiving? Did you get any shopping done??

On Weekends…

November 26, 2013

I should have posted this yesterday but I have a two day work week(be jealous its ok) so I have been crazy busy.


But I wanted to share this little bit of photos with you! I did almost everything I said I was going to do on my Five on Friday list this weekend….only missing watching Catching Fire.

Ice Skating at Millennium Park Friday night! 
We had two other couples join us so that was a lot of fun 🙂 


Saturday night…celebrated this girl’s birthday! 

Sunday….even though it was damn near freezing at 19 out we went paintballing!
Mrs. M joined us…so now she is officially a badass…running marathons and paintballing…she does it all 🙂 

Can’t  be complete without at least showing one ridiculous welt I have! 
How was your weekend??
