rumchata

Chocolate and cinnamon are always a great pairing which is why Boozy Rumchata Brownies laced with sweet vanilla, mocha, and warm cinnamon make for a decadent treat with just a hint of rum.

Why limit yourself to Guinness and whiskey on St.Patrick’s Day when you can celebrate the holiday with Boozy Rumchata Brownies?  I like to ensure all alcohol is treated equal on this national drinking day which is why my Boozy Rumchata Brownies, although spiced from South of the border, make a great St. Patrick’s Day treat. And seriously, since I’m in Texas, we alway need a little spice in our flavors.

Boozy Rumchata Brownies are a one bowl, 30-minute wonder which means you have more time for day drinking! It’s literally wet ingredients + dry ingredients, give it a good ol’ whirl and pour it into your pan.

Rum-cha-cha-cha! And you’re done!

<3M and I did a bit of quality control of the Boozy Rumchata Brownies this weekend and made them even more decadent and boozy by serving them a la mode style with a warm brownie, cinnamon ice cream and a drizzle of of more Rumchata on top in place of a chocolate syrup.

<3M declared it a $10 dessert that he’d be more than willing to pay for at a restaurant. I’d call that a win!
