Ingredients
These Chocolate Covered Rum Balls are made with simple ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry:
- Crushed cookies: You can use any type of cookie for this recipe. I like to use graham crackers or vanilla wafers.
- Rum: I recommend using a dark rum for this recipe.
- Cocoa powder: This will give the rum balls a rich chocolate flavor.
- Chocolate: You can use any type of chocolate for this recipe. I like to use semi-sweet or dark chocolate.
- Sprinkles: This is optional, but it adds a festive touch to the rum balls.
Instructions
The first step is to make the cookie mixture. In a large bowl, combine the crushed cookies, rum, and cocoa powder. Mix until everything is combined.
Next, roll the cookie mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to chill.
Once the balls are chilled, melt the chocolate in a double boiler or microwave. Dip each ball into the melted chocolate and then place back on the baking sheet. Sprinkle with festive sprinkles and place back in the refrigerator to chill.
The rum balls can be served chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy!
Notes
For a kid-friendly version of this recipe, omit the rum. The balls will still be delicious!
You can also use other types of cookies for this recipe. Shortbread, gingersnaps, or chocolate cookies would all be delicious!
If you don’t have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in the microwave. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted.
Nutrition
One rum ball has about 70 calories and 3 grams of fat. They are also high in sugar, so enjoy in moderation.
If you’re looking for a healthier version of this recipe, you can replace the cookies with crushed nuts. This will reduce the sugar and add some healthy fats and protein.
These Chocolate Covered Rum Balls are sure to be a hit at any party! They’re easy to make and they look beautiful. Enjoy!
