How to choose the best ingredients for Rich Rum Balls

Leftover cake: you can use virtually any cake, cookie, or waffle for rum balls. I encourage you to, for example, freeze the leftover dough and not throw it away. Then, when you get the amount you need, unfreeze and make these delicious power balls.

Dark chocolate: it can be dark chocolate for baking. It can be the one with a minimum of 55% cocoa. It doesn't matter too much. The rum will underline its flavor even more.

Heavy cream: heavy cream must be fresh and sweet. Only this one is suitable for a rich rum ball. Check the label to be free of any thickeners or additives.

Raisins: choose whatever you like. You can also add other dried fruits such as dates, apricots, or figs. However, each of them must be cut before adding to the dough.

Nuts: with nuts, I prefer rich rum ball walnuts and pecan, but also there can be other types that suit you best.

Rum: The rum is rich and strong, so embrace its flavor which will infuse the balls without overwhelming them.

Tips and tricks

• You can put Rich rum balls in the freezer for a while, about 30 minutes, so they are fastened to the right consistency.
