Handmade gifts are the best kind, particularly when they’re edible. \u00a0Who can resist a warm cup of spiced cider on a chilly winter night? \u00a0Hot Buttered Rum Mix, prettily wrapped, is a gourmet gift your family and friends will appreciate as they spoon it into their cups of cheer, sharing the best sentiments of the season.<\/p>\n

Hot Buttered Rum Mix<\/h2>\n

Through the years I have given this to neighbors at Christmas time. \u00a0For those of us who don’t drink rum, I add some rum extract to the mix. \u00a0Added to hot apple juice or cider it’s super delish. \u00a0For those who drink rum, I add vanilla extract, and take their word for it that it’s amazing! \u00a0One friend said she used it in hot milk, a hot buttered rum mix steamer.<\/em>..yum!<\/p>\n

Let’s whip up a quick batch so we can give it away. \u00a0Add soft butter, brown sugar, cloves, and cinnamon to a\u00a0mixing bowl<\/strong><\/a> and beat it with an electric mixer<\/strong><\/a>. \u00a0Now add rum or vanilla extract depending if you’ll be serving with our without rum.<\/p>\n

Now add it to a container, I’ve used a fun Christmas mug<\/strong><\/a>, jar, or something as simple as a clear plastic cup works too.<\/p>\n

\"Hot<\/p>\n

Next wrap it up with shiny cellophane<\/strong><\/a> or for a jar, add a lid. \u00a0It’s ready to wrap and give to someone special. \u00a0I like to give Hot Buttered Rum Mix with a large bottle of apple juice or cider. I also add a little card with directions about how to use it.<\/p>\n
