Really Good Rum Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 cup icing sugar
1 cup ground almonds
3 ounces bittersweet chocolate, grated
1/3 cup dark rum
1 teaspoon vanilla
1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles

Preparation

Line trays with waxed paper; set aside.
In a large bowl, whisk together icing sugar, almonds and bittersweet chocolate. Add 1/4 cup (50ml) of the rum and vanilla, stirring until moist; press together. Chill until firm enough to roll, about 15 minutes.
Roll by rounded 1tsp (95ml) into balls, moistening and wiping hands with damp cloth as needed. Place on prepared trays.
Pour remaining rum into shallow bowl. Pour chocolate sprinkles into separate shallow bowl. Roll balls in rum then in chocolate, pressing lightly so chocolate sticks. Let dry on tray, about 1 hour. Refrigerate until firm.
