Steps:
- 1. In a double boiler, break up the chocolate squares. To the melting chocolate, add the pieces of unsalted butter, stirring often, until well blended with the chocolate. Add the coffee and rum, stirring well. Remove from heat when thoroughly mixed and add the ground gingersnaps. Mix well. Cover and chill until firm. About an hour and a half or so.
- 2. In a small processor, (or finely chop by hand), process the pecans into tiny pieces suitable for rolling. You can also use powdered sugar, or toasted sweetened flaked coconut, or walnuts. Spread the nuts, sugar, etc. on a piece of foil or wax paper.
- 3. Bring the chocolate mixture to room temperature, about 30-45 minutes to be able to handle the chocolate easily. Use a teaspoon to dig out the chocolate and form into 1" balls. Roll the balls in the chopped nuts or your choice of coconut or powdered sugar. I have tripled the basic recipe, which yields approx. 30 candies. The tripled recipe yields approximately 85-90 candies, depending on the size. Enjoy! (Most of the prep time includes chilling, bringing to room temperature, and rolling the candies).

Tips:
- Use high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your truffles have the best possible flavor. Look for dark chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
- Make sure your ganache is thick enough: It should be thick enough to hold its shape when you roll it into balls. If it's too thin, add more chocolate or cream.
- Chill your truffles thoroughly before coating them in chocolate: This will help them set and keep their shape.
- Use a variety of toppings: You can use chopped nuts, sprinkles, or even edible glitter to decorate your truffles.
- Store your truffles in the refrigerator: They will keep for up to 2 weeks.

Dark chocolate and rum truffles are a delicious and elegant dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your own taste. With a little creativity, you can create a truly unique and special treat that everyone will love.
