Cat's Rum Balls
I've just done this one (13 Dec), and yum! I basically took someone elses recipe and dicked with it :)
Ingredients
200g Milk Chocolate, chopped fine
30g Butter
1/4 cup cooking Cream
200g Chocolate Ripple Biscuits (put through food processor until fine crumb)
4 tablespoons white Rum
Method
Place cream and butter into a small saucepan and stir over low heat until it comes to a boil.
Pour mixture over chocolate (I use a glass bowl for all chocolate work).
Whisk until smooth then add rum. Whisk in.
Stir in biscuit crumbs until well mixed.
Refrigerate for 20 minutes.
Remove mix from fridge and roll into small balls (placing on greasproof paper lined tray). Refrigerate again until cold.
Using a skewer, dip balls in melted dark chocolate and return to tray.
Place in fridge to set.
Notes:
For further decoration, melt white chocolate and put into a ziploc bag, snip off corner and pipe zig zags onto the balls whilst on tray, returning to fridge to set.
Rum balls can be stored for up to a week in the fridge.
