Step 1

Melt the chocolate chips in a hot water bath in the sink, a pot on the stove, or in the microwave, and then set them aside.

Step 2

In a medium-sized bowl, mix the butter and powdered sugar with a hand mixer until creamy.

Step 3

Add the cocoa powder, melted chocolate, and rum, and mix again.

Step 4

Place cling film on top of the bowl and put it in the fridge for 1-2 hours.

Step 5

Remove the mixture from the fridge. Scoop out a teaspoon amount of batter per rum ball and roll it in your hands to form a round ball. Roll the ball in a bowl of chocolate sprinkles or cocoa powder and place it on a plate once it’s fully coated. IMPORTANT: It’s important that your hands remain cold during the process. You can use a bowl with cold water and soak your hands in it after every one to two balls. Dry off your hands before forming the next ball.

Step 6

Once again, it is very important that your hands – and the dough – stays cold and dry during the ball rolling process. That’s why it’s important to soak your hands in cold water every once in a while and to work quite quickly when forming the balls.

Step 7

If you’re a huge fan of coconut, you can also roll the rum balls in coconut splinters.

Step 8

If you want the rum flavor to be less intense, use slightly less rum. If you want more rum, add more!

Step 9

Store the rum balls in the fridge and/or freeze the ones you don’t plan on consuming immediately. We also like eating cold rum balls straight out of the freezer but that’s a personal preference.
