Sure you can, although I really liked it with the rum.. :)
It sounds absolutely divine. My arteries were clogging just reading it. :) I love Krispy Kreme donuts. Especially when they are hot and with a cup of coffee. We have a KK nearby so I thought I might try it, but have no rum, but do have the other ingredients on hand.
By the way, I made your Tex Mex Sweet Potato Fries tonight and they were so good!!!! Thanks for all the great recipes. :)
