Zutaten
  

For the chocolates:

  • 125 g butter room temperature
  • 120 g icing sugar
  • 1 pinch salt
  • 200 g dark chocolate
  • 150 g milk chocolate
  • 5 tbsp rum
  • 2 tbsp cocoa powder
  • 200 g ground almonds

For the decoration:

Zubereitung
 

  • Beat the butter and the icing sugar with a pinch of salt until very creamy and white. Melt the chocolate, add rum, cocoa powder and ground almonds. 
    125 g butter, 120 g icing sugar, 1 pinch salt, 200 g dark chocolate, 150 g milk chocolate, 5 tbsp rum, 2 tbsp cocoa powder, 200 g ground almonds
  • Slowly incorporate the chocolate mixture into the butter. Take approx. 1 tsp. of the mass and roll it to a ball, put it on a baking tray with parchment paper on top and put the rum balls in the fridge for 10 minutes. 
  • After cooling, you can roll them in your hands to a smooth ball. Cool again for at least 10 minutes.
  • In the meantime melt 2/3 of the dark chocolate for the decoration at maximum 45 °C. Add the last 1/3 once the chocolate has fully melted. Cover the rum balls in chocolate, one at a time, and use a praliné-rack or an oven rack to create some texture by wheeling every praliné back and forth until it looks kind of like a hedgehog. Or cover them in chocolate and roll them in cocoa powder.
