Makes 16 truffles

Ingredients:

• 1/3 cup heavy cream
• 1/4 cup white chocolate chips
• 1 cup walnuts, chopped
• 1 teaspoon rum extract
• 3/4 cup ground white chocolate (for coating)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Cream Mixture:

   • In a medium-sized saucepan, bring the heavy cream to a light boil over low heat.
   • Once boiled, remove the saucepan from the heat.

2. Combine with Chocolate:

   • Pour in the white chocolate chips into the saucepan with the hot cream.
   • Cover the saucepan and let it sit for 3 to 4 minutes to allow the chocolate chips to melt.

3. Prepare the Nut Mixture:

   • While the chocolate is melting, in a shallow bowl, mix together the chopped walnuts and rum extract.
   • Toss the mixture to blend the flavors well.

4. Blend Together:

   • Uncover the saucepan containing the melted chocolate and cream.
   • Using a wooden spoon, mix the chocolate and cream until smooth and creamy in texture.

5. Combine with Nut Mixture:

   • Pour the creamy chocolate mixture over the nut mixture prepared earlier.
   • Stir well until the nuts are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.

6. Refrigerate:

   • Transfer the mixture into the refrigerator and let it chill for approximately 4 to 6 hours, or overnight, until it becomes fudgy in texture.

7. Shape into Truffles:

   • Once chilled, remove the mixture from the refrigerator.
   • Roll the mixture into small one-inch balls using your hands.

8. Coat with White Chocolate:

   • Roll each truffle immediately into the ground white chocolate until fully coated.
   • This will give the truffles a delightful outer layer.

9. Serve and Enjoy:

   • Place each coated truffle into mini cupcake holders for a charming presentation.
   • These Rum Walnut Truffles are best enjoyed chilled.
   • Keep any leftovers refrigerated until ready to serve.

Note:

• These truffles are best served chilled, so be sure to keep them refrigerated if not being served immediately.
• Feel free to customize the recipe by adding different nuts or experimenting with various flavors of extracts for a unique twist on this classic treat.
