Time 5m

Yield 17 rum balls

Number Of Ingredients 7

Ingredients

1 cup almond flour (best without the skins, in this case)
1/2 cup cocoa powder
2 tablespoons butter, softened to room temperature
2 tablespoons powdered erythritol, a sugar alcohol*
1/2 teaspoon vanilla
2 tablespoons brandy or 2 tablespoons whiskey, etc, vary according to taste
1/2 cup Splenda granular

Steps:

Note about erythritol:
I realize that the erythritol is a special ingredient.
Some stores are starting to carry powdered sugar alcohols, or you can order online from Netrition or other places.
I haven't figured out how to make really delicious chocolate treats without it at this point.
Erythritol is the sugar alcohol with the least blood sugar impact, but you can use others.
If the erythritol you use isn't powdered, it won't dissolve much in this recipe, so I recommend running it through a blender first, but I'm happy that the most recent erythritol I got came powdered, which is great.
Mix all dry ingredients together in bowl.
Add vanilla and liquor.
If the artifical sweetener is liquid and concentrated, add it to the liquor.
Since there are different liquid sweeteners of different concentrations, you may have to play with the total amount of liquid, and cut down on the liquor, or add water.
Usually the total liquid you want is about 2.5-3 T.
Add the liquid slowly and mix until it all comes together.
Roll into balls.
The flavors will mellow over the next few days.
Store in refrigerator or cool place.
Carbs depend on serving size.
17 balls will get you exactly 1 gram of effective carbohydrate per ball, plus a tad over a gram of alcohol and 1.5 grams of fiber.

Tips:

Use a food processor to finely grind the almonds. This will help the rum balls to have a smooth and even texture.
If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the almonds by hand. Just be sure to chop them very finely.
Be careful not to over-mix the rum balls. Over-mixing will make them tough.
Roll the rum balls in cocoa powder, chopped nuts, or shredded coconut. This will give them a delicious coating and help to keep them from sticking together.
Store the rum balls in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

These chocolate rum balls are a delicious and easy-to-make low-carb treat. They're perfect for parties, potlucks, or just a sweet snack. With their rich chocolate flavor and hint of rum, these rum balls are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
