Ingredients:
| Quantity | Ingredient |
|---|---|
| 2 cups | Chocolate cookie crumbs |
| 1 cup | Pecans, finely chopped |
| 1/2 cup | Granulated sugar |
| 1/3 cup | Dark rum |
| 1/2 cup | Corn syrup |
| 3/4 cup | Semi-sweet chocolate chips |
| Candy sprinkles, for rolling |
Instructions:
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the chocolate cookie crumbs, finely chopped pecans, granulated sugar, dark rum, and corn syrup. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly combined.
-
Shape the mixture into 1-inch balls by rolling them between the palms of your hands. Place the balls on a tray lined with wax paper.
-
Transfer the tray to the refrigerator and chill the balls for about 15 minutes, or until they are firm.
-
Meanwhile, prepare the chocolate coating. In a double boiler set over simmering water, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips until smooth and creamy. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly.
-
Once the chocolate has cooled a bit, take the chilled balls out of the refrigerator. Using a fork or a dipping tool, dip each ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it’s evenly coated with a thin layer of chocolate.
-
Roll the chocolate-coated balls in candy sprinkles, covering them entirely.
-
Place the coated balls back on the wax paper-lined tray and let them sit at room temperature until the chocolate sets.
-
Once the chocolate has hardened, transfer the Chocolate Rum Balls to an airtight container, and store them in the refrigerator until ready to serve.
-
Serve these decadent Chocolate Rum Balls as a sweet treat for Father’s Day or any other occasion. They’re sure to be a hit with everyone!
