How to Make Rum Walnut Truffles

  1. In a medium-sized saucepan, bring 1 cup heavy cream to a gentle simmer over low heat.
  2. Remove from heat.
  3. Pour in 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips.
  4. Cover and let sit for 3 to 4 minutes to melt the chocolate.
  5. Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, combine 1 cup chopped walnuts and 1 teaspoon rum extract.
  6. Toss gently to coat the walnuts evenly.
  7. Uncover the chocolate and stir with a wooden spoon until smooth and creamy.
  8. Pour the melted chocolate over the walnut mixture and stir until the nuts are thoroughly coated.
  9. Refrigerate for at least 4-6 hours, or preferably overnight, until firm and fudgy.
  10. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  11. Immediately roll each truffle in 1/2 cup finely grated white chocolate.
  12. Place the truffles in mini cupcake liners and refrigerate for another 30 minutes before serving.
