Boozy Christmas Chocolate Truffles Recipe

These truffles are not only effortless to make but their mouthwatering blend of chocolate with a hint of spiced rum makes them irresistibly delicious. Incorporated with heavy cream and butter for smoothness, these truffles tantalize the palate and become a splendid example of holiday cheer on a platter.

Ingredients

3 C semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 14 oz can of sweetened condensed milk
2 tsp spiced rum
1 C Christmas red green and white nonpareils

Instructions:

Prepare Ingredients: Gather your ingredients, including the spiced rum, chocolate chips, and condensed milk. Choose your favorite holiday sprinkles for decoration.

Mixture Creation:

A double boiler is recommended for melting the chocolate chips and mixing them with the condensed milk.

This method helps to avoid burning the chocolate, ensuring a smooth mixture.
As an alternative, you can use a microwave. If doing so, microwave the chocolate chips and condensed milk in short bursts of 30 seconds, stirring well each time to prevent the mixture from burning or becoming uneven.

Add Booze:

After the chocolate and condensed milk are well combined and smooth, stir in the 2 teaspoons of spiced rum.

Chilling:

If the mixture becomes too sticky when trying to roll into balls, chill it in the refrigerator or freezer for a few minutes. This makes it easier to handle.

Form Truffles:

Once chilled and manageable, shape the mixture into small balls. Running your hands under cold water before rolling can help prevent sticking.

Decoration:

Roll the formed truffles in red and green sprinkles, or any festive decorations you prefer. Use a variety of sprinkles for an assorted look if desired.

Tips and Tricks

You only need 2 teaspoons of spiced rum to infuse the truffles with a delightful holiday flavor.
If you don’t usually keep spiced rum at home, look for mini bottles at liquor stores, often found near the cash register, or borrow a small amount from a friend.
When using a double boiler or microwave, mixing well and scraping down the sides are crucial to avoid uneven melting or burning of the mixture.
