Hot Buttered Rum on a Stick
You'll Need:
1 1/2 cups granulated white sugar
3/4 cup dark brown sugar, packed
1/2 cup water
6 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
½ teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
¼ teaspoon ground clove
pinch of kosher salt
Let's Play!
Line a mini muffin pan with mini cupcake papers, ready your wooden sticks and set aside.
Combine all the ingredients in a 4-quart saucepan.
Bring the syrup to a boil over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally with a clean wooden spoon. Boil for about 3 minutes or until the syrup registers 238°f - 240°F on a candy thermometer.
Remove the pan from heat immediately and keep stirring. Stir constantly until the mixture begins to cool and looks creamy, cloudy, and start to thicken, about 2 minutes.
Drop the mixture by the spoonful into the prepared mini cupcake papers. Work quickly, as the syrup starts to set as it cools. As quickly as possible insert a wooden stick into each mini cupcake cup.
Cool until hardened – about 15 minutes. (Makes 20 sticks)
