I only very recently discovered RumChata, and boy was I missing out. It’s such a yummy addition to so many great cocktails. RumChata is a cream liqueur with cinnamon and rum flavors. It is the perfect compliment to hot chocolate to make your own boozy hot chocolate treat! We love creamy liqueurs over here, and I do dare say that RumChata has taken the #1 spot on our list of favorites! This Rumchata Hot Chocolate recipe is made with simple ingredients, right on your stove top. This has become one of my favorite hot cocoa recipes, let’s talk about how to make it.

RumChata Hot Chocolate Ingredients:

• 2 tbsp. powdered cocoa
• 2 tbsp. Sugar
• ¼ cup semi sweet chocolate chips
• 2 cups whole milk
• 2 oz. Rumchata
• Mini marshmallows for topping
• Chocolate sauce for topping

Directions:

Step 1: In a medium saucepan, stir together cocoa powder, sugar, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and milk.

Step 2: Heat over medium-low heat, until steamy and chocolate chips have melted, stirring occasionally.

Step 3: Remove from the heat and stir in your shot of Rumchata.

Substitutions:

• Want to make this recipe a Rumchata white hot chocolate? Substitute the cocoa powder and semi-sweet chocolate chips for 1/2 cup white chocolate chips, instead!
• You can use any toppings on this hot chocolate that you like. Whipped cream, caramel sauce, and chocolate syrup would all be delicious. A sprinkle of cinnamon would also compliment the rum chata flavors of cinnamon as well! Really wow your hot chocolate drinkers by adding a cinnamon stick!

How do you make Rumchata Hot Chocolate in the slow cooker?

To convert this recipe for your crock pot you are going to want to double (or even triple) the ingredients. Combine the milk, sugar, chocolate, and powdered cocoa in your crock pot, and heat on low for 2-3 hours, until chocolate has melted and everything is well heated through. Stir in Rumchata just before serving, and allow 10-15 minutes for the mixture to warm back up fully. This is perfect for serving to a large group (of adults, of course).

I just love turning hot chocolate into a delicious cocktail, and you just can’t beat this Rumchata hot cocoa recipe. You can up the booze factor and take this drink to the next level by adding a shot of your alcohol of choice. Vodka or rum to your drink, as well. Caramel, whipped cream, vanilla, or cake flavored vodkas would all be super yummy to try. This recipe is the perfect way to have the ultimate creamy hot chocolate with a little extra something after dinner. What better way to enjoy dessert than to drink it?
