Slow-Cooker Hot Buttered Rum

NoelSeven · ‎03-09-2010

My parents used to make Hot Buttered Rum for guests at Christmastime. I found some of the old-timey mugs a few years ago and revived the tradition.

I just got a recipe in email for doing it in a slow-cooker, created by a well known online food blogger and sent out by Betty Crocker. Aside from the tasty warming qualities of the drink, this recipe, brewing for a few hours, has to make your home smell WOMDERFUL!

I'm going to try this out soon:
