I used rum flavoring. I think the rum flavor was too strong, so if I make again I will decrease it to 1 tablespoon. It was a hit at the party though!!

Very tasty! I've made it frequently for pot lucks and family parties and I always bring an empty dish back. One substitution I have made is using Malibu coconut rum in place of the extract.
