Tips:

  • For a richer flavor, use dark rum instead of light rum.
  • Soak the raisins in the rum for at least 30 minutes before using them. This will help to plump them up and give them a more intense flavor.
  • If you don't have any rum on hand, you can substitute another type of alcohol, such as brandy or cognac. However, rum is the traditional ingredient and will give the clusters the best flavor.
  • Be sure to use a good quality chocolate for the clusters. This will make a big difference in the overall flavor of the finished product.
  • If you want to make the clusters even more decadent, you can add some chopped nuts or dried fruit to the chocolate mixture.

Conclusion:

Rum raisin clusters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They are also a great way to use up any leftover rum or raisins that you may have on hand. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and satisfying snack that is sure to please everyone. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy treat, give rum raisin clusters a try. You won't be disappointed!
