ChefNorway’s Rum Balls
Story
I got to tell you about this secret. Everyone loves these rum balls in Norway. This recipe might be a little bakers secret, but why not share it with the rest of the world. Finally you can know how to really make rum balls. So make sure when you make a cake next time. Save every “ugly” bit you cut off that are giving it a weird shape. Or maybe you want to just cut in a different shape than your forms. The leftovers I suggest you save in a plastic bag, leave them in the freezer and bring it out when you have a bag full. That is the good stuff we want for the rum balls

Summary Delicious chocolate and rum treat, made out of leftover residue from cakes you've made before. A good way to use everything even the left over stuff that normally goes in the trash.
