Tips:

Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70% is ideal.
If you don't have rum extract, you can use vanilla extract instead. However, rum extract will give the rum balls a more authentic flavor.
Be sure to chill the dough before rolling it into balls. This will help the balls hold their shape better.
If you want to make the rum balls even more decadent, you can roll them in chopped nuts or cocoa powder before serving.
Store the rum balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

These chocolate walnut rum balls are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these rum balls a try. You won't be disappointed.
