Rum balls

I really love liquor filled rum balls as they just melts in your mouth. Once you pop them in, they melt slowly while releasing beautiful liquor gently :) and that's the best part.

Enough said...I tried them a month back however posting recipe now. Recipe not belong to me, I must thank to Stephanie from joyofbaking dot com who shared this recipe over internet. She is my online teacher :)
I have modified some part of original recipe to suit my needs and ingredients


Ingredients:

150 gms mixed toasted nuts (almonds, cashews, unsalted pistachios, walnut etc, take whatever you wish)
4 cup cakes small or left over cake, or cookies (125 gms), I prefer cake as it melts in mouth easily
50 gms of powdered sugar
2 tbsp honey
60ml red rum (or liquor of your choice)

Finished Rum balls 


How to do it:

Chop toasted nuts very finely (you don't want to powder them, just chop as fine as possible).
In a mixing bowl add chopped nuts along with sugar and honey and give a nice mix.
Crumble in cup cakes (mini muffins) by hands, just make sure you make finer crumb.
Now add rum or any liquor in mixture and keep mixing until everything is mixed well and
mixtures starts to hold up. If mixture is not holding up then add more cake crumbs.
Chill mixture in refrigerator for couple of hours, then take it out and start rolling out small balls, once this done store them back in fridge.
Rum balls are ready now, you can make a chocolate coat or powdered sugar coating to these balls, as per your choice just dip these balls in melted chocolate, or roll in powdered sugar or roll them in chopped nuts etc. Its time to become more creative at this stage. Enjoy your melting rum balls after one day, so that liquor will get mingled well and produces excellent taste.
