How to Make Rum Balls Recipe

Start with crumbling walnuts and vanilla biscuits (or use digestive biscuits). We used a blender to powder it.

Melt dark chocolate chips or bark in microwave for 30 seconds interval, stirring in between.

To the melted dark chocolate add the crumbled biscuits and walnuts.

Mix in caster sugar and add little vanilla extract for added flavor.

Pour rum into the mix. You can use some where from 3 tablespoon to rum to about ¾ cup rum, depending on how boozy you want. ¾ cup rum will make you go ….HICK! 😀 Make your choice!

A little raw organic honey in the end to make little more sweeter rum truffle balls.

Mix all in until well incorporated.

Cover and refrigerate the mix for 30 minutes to an hour.

Then scoop out small portion of truffle mix and roll into balls.

You can stop there. Or to make it looks fancy and attractive roll these rum truffle balls in cocoa powder, beet root powder, pistachio sand or even desiccated coconut(coconut flakes), in powdered sugar, dip it in chocolate melt and drizzle some over the top for decoration. Just go wild!
