We made more rum balls this afternoon. You can never have too many rum balls at Christmas time. I thought I would share my recipe with you. I know that there are some gourmet rum ball recipes out there, but this is the one I grew up with and the one I have made every Christmas since leaving home.
Rums Balls
• 8 weet-bix (crushed)
• 1 tin condensed milk
• 3 tablespoons cocoa• 1/2 cup dessicated coconut
• 1 cup raisins (roughly chopped)
• 2 tablespoons rum
• extra dessicated coconut for coating
Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl and mix well. Place the mixture in the refrigerator for at 2 hours. Roll into teaspoon size balls and coat in coconut.
The picture above is of Spunky Monkey's first Christmas. You can see how we start our Christmas morning, with a sweets platter and strong black coffee. In the photo there are rum balls, cherry ripe slice, panetonne and chocolate truffles.
Oh yes, I do love Christmas!
