Chocolate Covered Rum Balls

The perfect accompaniment to your Christmas feast! These delightful bite sized chocolate covered rum balls created by @emsswanson are ‘subtly sweet, seriously chocolatey, super fudgy and infused with belly warming rum’.

Here's what you'll need:

For the rum balls:

• 6 lge (juicy) medjool dates, pitted
• 1 C almonds
• 1 Tbsp cacao
• 1 tsp vanilla essence
• 1/2 tsp rum extract - or a shot or 2 of the real deal
• Pinch salt
• 1 scp NH pure collagen - for great for hair, skin, nails & gut health .

 Coating:

• 1 C dark choc
• 1/4 tsp - optional but that hint of espresso is SO GOOD! .
• 1 Tbsp coconut oil - optional 
•  Festive sprinkles! optional but not really because, SPRINKLES!!!!! 

Here's how to make it:

1. Toast almonds for 5-7 mins - optional but recommended.
2. Place almonds in food processor or blender & process to a crumb (think chunkier than almond meal) - you want to keep a little texture.
3. Add dates, vanilla, rum, salt & any extras - process to form a sticky dough.
4. Roll into balls (I do bites approx 1 Tbsp each)  & place on a lined baking sheet.
5. Melt choc, coco oil & coffee.
6. Dip each ball in melted choc, add sprinkles (optional).
7. Devour.
