Rum Balls
These little chocolate balls infused with rum are a holiday classic. And what better way to celebrate the holidays than to eat chocolate and get drunk on rum all in one bite. The recipe below belongs to my friend, Theresa, and she says the longer they marinate the more tasty and potent they become. So to experience the full effect of the rum balls, you should definitely make them way in advance of when you want to serve them. And finally, a word of warning, if you eat too many of these little hedonistic treats, they may indirectly cause you to relax, which can impair your coordination and reaction times.
