Instructions

  1. Chop the chocolate then melt it together either using a double boiler on the stovetop, stirring until smooth, or microwave it in short intervals, stirring between each interval until fully melted. Once the chocolate has melted, let it cool to room temperature.
  2. Add the room temperature butter to a medium mixing bowl and sift in the powdered icing sugar. Beat until light and fluffy.
  3. Beat in the melted chocolate and rum.
  4. Cover the bowl and chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
  5. Tip: If the chocolate mixture is not firm enough to roll after chilling, beat in a little more powdered sugar and chill again.
  6. Pour the sprinkles (or cocoa powder) into a shallow dish.
  7. Roll the rumkugeln mixture into small bite-sized balls (using a teaspoon or melon baller). Roll into balls, then roll in the sprinkles (or cocoa powder).
  8. Place onto a plate. Repeat until all of the rum ball mixture is used up.
  9. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator or in a cool place for up to 3 weeks. For the best flavor, let them come up to room temperature before serving.
