ALMOND-RUM BONBONS image

Categories     Nut

Yield 50 rum balls

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 12-oz package vanilla wafers
~ 2 cups confectioners sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup dark rum
3 T. brown sugar
1 can almond filling (e.g. Love'n'Bake Almond Schmear)
1 cup chocolate chips or other semi-sweet chocolate for melting
1/8 c. butter
sea salt

Steps:

  • Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper and set aside. Place vanilla wafers in heavy-duty plastic bag and crush with rolling pin to make fine crumbs, or place wafers in food processor and process until fine. You should have about 3 cups of crumbs. Place wafer crumbs in large bowl. Add 1 cup confectioners sugar and cocoa powder. Stir until blended. Add almond filling, rum, and brown sugar; mix to combine. Dust hands with confectioners sugar. Shape mixture into small balls. Freeze for at least an hour. Melt chocolate and butter together until smooth. Dip rum balls into chocolate. When the chocolate begins to set (after a minute or so -- before it has set completely), sprinkle with sea salt. Let cool completely. Store in the freezer.

I think these bonbons would be even better if they were dipped in chocolate.

I'm not sure what went wrong, but my bonbons didn't set properly. I think I might have used too much butter.

I found this recipe to be a bit too sweet for my taste. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

These bonbons didn't turn out as well as I hoped. I think I overcooked the sugar mixture.

I love that this recipe uses almond flour instead of regular flour. It makes the bonbons gluten-free and they're still so delicious.

I was hesitant to try this recipe because I'm not a big fan of rum, but I'm so glad I did. The rum flavor is subtle and it pairs perfectly with the almonds.
