Cozy Cottage Rum Balls

Nancy's fine-tuned wheat-free rum ball recipe shared!

Ingredients: 

• 3 oz. (85 g.) melted bittersweet baking chocolate (approx. 15 squares) 
• 1 cup icing sugar
• 1 cup ground almonds (almond meal) 
• 1/3 cup dark rum 
• 1 tsp. vanilla

Directions: 

Melt chocolate slowly. Add the rest of the ingredients. Refrigerate. Once cooled (thus more solid) roll into balls. Roll balls in ground almonds, chocolate sprinkles, cocoa or icing sugar (optional: dip balls in rum then roll in toppings)

Balls become even more solid when left in the fridge for a period of days, or frozen. 

Suggest eating before 2 p.m. to avoid being awake at 12:30 a.m. (the caffeine in the chocolate far outweighs the soporific effect of the rum!)
