Zubereitung von Aunt Vi's Rum Balls
- In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar.
- Add the softened butter and mix until well combined.
- Stir in the rum and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This step is crucial!
- Once chilled, roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave (be careful not to burn!).
- Dip each rum ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
- Place the chocolate-covered rum balls on wax paper to allow the chocolate to set.
- Optional: Decorate with chopped nuts or sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
- Once the chocolate has hardened (about 30 minutes), store the rum balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy responsibly!
