Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped chocolate, heavy cream, unsweetened cocoa powder, and butter. Cook over low heat, stirring constantly, until the chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
-
Stir in the chopped nuts and rum until well combined. Let the mixture cool to room temperature, then cover and refrigerate for at least 1-2 hours, or until firm.
-
Once the mixture has chilled and is firm enough to handle, use a small cookie scoop or melon baller to scoop out small portions and roll them into round balls. The size can vary according to your preference.
-
Roll each ball in confectioners' sugar or cocoa powder to coat evenly. Place the rum balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
-
Before serving, transfer the rum balls to a serving plate or airtight container. Store in the refrigerator to maintain freshness and texture.
