Alexandrina Rebekah’s Rum Balls
Alexandrina Christmas eCookbook
Treat friends to these more-ish rum balls during the Australian Summer. These balls are a soft confectionery, they are biscuit and almond flavoured with cocoa, and rum, made into the size of a golf ball and coat them in chocolate sprinkles
At our place it was always Christmas when our Mum opened the tub of rum balls. Of course, our Dad had snuck a few, already! Make these early in the season while you have boundless festive energy, they make an ideal gift in a tin.
