I've never heard you can make them without butter/butter fat Shocked

I think, CL's recipe is the traditional one, variations might be to use a bit more chocolate and/or cacao or less, and how much rum you add.

Aren't they?
We have an exquisite chocolatier here in town and he rolls the rum balls
in cocoa powder - that's good too.

Rum Balls? I've never even heard of them, but they look delish. They look like donut holes. Is that what they're like, chocolate donut holes w/ rum and sprinkles?

Thanks CJane. Smile

I don't like chocolate sprinkles I would rather roll them in powdered sugar or ground almonds. Could I roll them in coconut? That would be yummy.

I do have a question, though. What is the measurement 'sp'??? Is that teaspoon or tablespoon?

0 Replies

You can roll them in whatever you like, doglover. I love coconut too!
I once rolled them into these tiny colorful candy perls and that looked
very nice.

Yes, tablespoon, sorry.

What is the dark chocolate, something like a 60% choc bar, melted? or baking chocolate?

0 Replies

I always use regular chocolate (a good brand) as I don't like
baking chocolate, and yes it is melted. I also use very good
Rum, one can taste the difference.

0 Replies

Hmmm, probably any good liquor or liqueur... but, sure, a good brand for both chocolate and rum.
