Here's the recipe I got from Gracie for the hot buttered rum served at their caroling parties (no rum required if you don't imbibe):
1 lb. softened butter
1 lb. confectioners sugar
1 lb. brown sugar
Cream above ingredients together then add:
2 tsp. cinnamon
2 tsp. nutmeg
1 qt. softened vanilla ice cream
Mix well.
Use 2 T. for each cup, hot water and 1 jigger rum, sprinkle with fresh grated nutmeg or cinnamon
Enjoy it with Chuckbert's fruitcake! (BTW, how's the fruitcake coming along?)
Keep the remaining mix in the freezer.
YUM, YUM!
