RUM BALLS
Rum
balls are a truffle-like confection of sweet, dense cake or biscuit material
flavoured with chocolate and rum. They are roughly the size of a golf ball and
often coated in chocolate sprinkles, desiccated coconut, or cocoa. Rum Balls
are rich in flavor and have a fudgy texture.
Rum
balls are one of the Christmas season's easiest and most delicious treats.
Fruit cakes are normally used as they are already packed with fruits, nuts and
spices. However chocolate cake or vanilla cake could also be used. The Rum
balls can also be made with digestive biscuits instead of cake
