CHOCOLATE RUM BALL TRUFFLES
Makes about 40 Prep 30 mins (+ 1½ hours setting time) Cooking 5 mins
250g pkt Arnott’s Choc Ripple biscuits
1 cup (80g) desiccated coconut
¼ cup (60ml) dark rum or Malibu coconut rum
¼ cup (60ml) condensed milk
2 tbs cocoa powder
150g dark chocolate melts
150g white chocolate melts
150g milk chocolate melts
Cocoa powder, to decorate
1. Line a baking tray with baking paper. To make the truffle mixture, place the biscuits in a food processor and process until finely crushed. Transfer the biscuit crumbs to a large bowl. Add the coconut, rum, condensed milk and cocoa powder to the biscuit crumbs and stir until well combined to get a fudge-like texture. Alternatively, to make truffles without adding alcohol, replace the dark rum or Malibu coconut rum with ¼ cup (60ml) thickened cream.
2. For even-sized truffles, roll heaped teaspoonfuls of biscuit mixture into balls and place on the lined tray. For a chewy texture, place in the fridge for 1 hour or until truffles are firm. Place the dark chocolate melts in a medium heatproof bowl over a saucepan of simmering water, making sure the bottom of the bowl doesn’t touch the water. Stir with a metal spoon until chocolate melts evenly and is smooth. Repeat with white and milk chocolate melts in separate heatproof bowls.
3. To evenly coat the truffles, use a fork to dip 1 truffle in melted dark chocolate. Tap on the edge of the bowl to remove excess. Place on the prepared tray. Repeat with remaining truffles, alternating between dark, white and milk chocolate. Allow to set for 30 mins. Place remaining chocolate in separate sealable plastic bags. Cut off 1 corner. Drizzle the dark truffles with white chocolate and the white truffles with dark chocolate. Dust milk chocolate truffles with cocoa powder.

Let’s Get Started!
Yield: 30 Bourbon Balls
Bourbon Balls Recipe
Ingredients:
Dough
2 cups pecans
2 cups crushed vanilla wafers (approximately 8 ounces)
¼ cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa
2 cups confectioners’ sugar plus more for rolling
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
½ cup bourbon, such as Jack Daniel’s
Finishing
¼ cup cocoa powder
¾ cup confectioners’ sugar, divided
Rum ball variation
2½ cups vanilla wafer crumbs
1 cup finely ground nuts or shredded coconut
1 cup confectioners’ sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
½ cup Meyers rum (light or dark) or your favorite brandy
Extra cocoa or finely ground instant coffee, for rolling
Directions:
First, Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Roast the pecans on a parchment-lined baking sheet pan. Bake for 3-5 minutes so they are nice and toasted.
Then, in a food process, process 44 vanilla wafers into crumbs. Add pecans to crushed wafers process until you get a fine powder. Transfer to a medium bowl.
I use this Bourbon from a distillery in Evanston Illinois. The underlying caramel notes are perfect for this bourbon balls recipe. And don't skimp on the bourbon!
I also use my private label vanilla - it's aged in a cognac barrel, with citrus, candies fruit notes and spices. It smells so good in here, The bourbon, chocolate and roasted pecans make the kitchen very aromatic.
Finish the balls: take 1 tablespoon full and roll them into a ball. Perfectly moistened by the bourbon.
Sift remaining ¼ cup cocoa with ¼ cup of remaining confectioners’ sugar in a large mixing bowl. Watch the video to see the mixture consistency.
Coat the bourbon balls in the cocoa-sugar mixture to coat.
