Rum Walnut Truffles Recipes

Steps:

• Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl.
• In a saucepan, combine cream and butter. Place over low heat, and bring to a boil. Pour over chocolate, and stir until chocolate is melted and smooth. Stir in cake crumbs and rum. Set aside until firm, but not hard.
• Roll heaping teaspoons of chocolate mixture into balls, then roll in the chocolate sprinkles. Place on the prepared tray. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm. Serve in small paper cups.

Steps:

• Heat the chocolate and cream in a heatproof bowl set over a pan of just simmering water, making sure the bowl does not touch the water. Stir until the chocolate has melted and the mixture is smooth.
• Remove from the heat, and mix in the cake crumbs and rum. Leave to cool at room temperature until the mixture is firm enough to roll into balls, about 1 hr - don't worry if it splits slightly. If you're short of time, chill the mixture for up to 30 mins, stirring every 10 mins, until firm.
• If the mixture splits, stir again until smooth. Put the sprinkles in a shallow dish. Roll teaspoonfuls of the mixture into balls, then roll in the sprinkles to coat. Will keep in a cool, dry place in an airtight container for up to a week.

Steps:

• Bring the cream and butter to the boil in a small pan, and put the milk chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Pour the hot cream mix over the chocolate, leave for 1 min, then stir until smooth and combined. Whisk in the rum, then chill in the freezer for 5-10 mins, or until just firm enough to roll.
• Roll tablespoons of the mixture into balls in your hands, then transfer to a non-stick baking tray (you may want to wear gloves). Chill in the fridge for 1 hr, or until set. Meanwhile, melt the dark chocolate in a small heatproof bowl set over a pan of simmering water, and put the cocoa powder on a plate. Dip the chilled truffles into the melted chocolate using a fork, then shake off the excess and roll in the cocoa. If the cocoa starts to get too sticky, add another 1 tbsp.
• Put the truffles on a tray or plate lined with baking parchment and chill for 1 hr to set, then package. Will keep in the fridge for up to one week.

Steps:

• In a medium-sized saucepan, bring cream to a light boil over low heat.
• Remove from heat.
• Pour in semi-sweet chocolate chips.
• Cover and let sit 3 to 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a shallow bowl, mix walnuts and rum extract.
• Toss to blend.
• Uncover chocolate chips and mix with a wooden spoon until creamy in texture.
• Pour over nut mixture and stir until the nuts are coated.
• Refrigerate until fudgy- approximately 4 to 6 hours or overnight.
• Roll into one inch balls, then immediately roll into ground white chocolate.
• Place in mini cupcake holders and enjoy.
• NOTE: Keep refrigerated if not being served.
