CHOCOLATE RUM BALLS

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Yield about 2 dozen rum balls

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 ounces sliced almonds
12 ounces semisweet chocolate chips
4 ounces bittersweet chocolate
3 tablespoons honey
1/2 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons dark rum
1 tablespoon vanilla extract
16 to 20 ounces chocolate sprinkles
1 teaspoon coarse sea salt

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Arrange the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the center of the oven. Toast the almonds until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool. Arrange the almonds on a flat surface and coarsely chop them with a large knife. Set aside.
  • In a medium metal bowl, combine the chocolates. Create a makeshift double boiler by filling a pot that will hold the bowl snugly with about 2 inches of water. (The bowl should not touch the water.) Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat so that the water is simmering. Set the bowl of chocolate over the pot, stirring with a heatproof spatula from time to time, until the chocolate is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
  • In a small pan, simmer the honey over medium heat until it bubbles, froths and turns amber brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and gently stir the honey into the chocolate.
  • Use a strainer or sifter to sift the powdered sugar over the chocolate-honey mixture and stir it in, along with the almonds, rum and vanilla, until smooth.
  • Place the sprinkles in a cookie tin or container with a fitted lid. Roll the chocolate mixture into small balls (about 1 1/2 inches) and arrange on a baking sheet. Spill the sprinkles over the chocolates and press the sprinkles into the exterior of each to make them stick.
  • When all are rolled, sprinkle them with salt and store them in the container nestled in the remaining sprinkles. Refrigerate, if needed, but serve closer to room temperature.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality chocolate. The better the chocolate, the better the rum balls will be. Look for chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Don't overwork the dough. Overworking the dough will make the rum balls tough. Mix the ingredients just until they are combined.
  • Chill the dough before rolling it. Chilling the dough will make it easier to roll and will help the rum balls hold their shape.
  • Use a variety of coatings. You can coat the rum balls in chopped nuts, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or sprinkles. Get creative and have fun!
  • Store the rum balls in the refrigerator. Rum balls will keep for up to 2 weeks in the refrigerator.

Conclusion:

Chocolate rum balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of rum balls that will be enjoyed by everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give chocolate rum balls a try!
