ALMOND-RUM BONBONS image

Categories     Nut

Yield 50 rum balls

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 12-oz package vanilla wafers
~ 2 cups confectioners sugar
3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup dark rum
3 T. brown sugar
1 can almond filling (e.g. Love'n'Bake Almond Schmear)
1 cup chocolate chips or other semi-sweet chocolate for melting
1/8 c. butter
sea salt

Steps:

  • Line 2 baking sheets with waxed paper and set aside. Place vanilla wafers in heavy-duty plastic bag and crush with rolling pin to make fine crumbs, or place wafers in food processor and process until fine. You should have about 3 cups of crumbs. Place wafer crumbs in large bowl. Add 1 cup confectioners sugar and cocoa powder. Stir until blended. Add almond filling, rum, and brown sugar; mix to combine. Dust hands with confectioners sugar. Shape mixture into small balls. Freeze for at least an hour. Melt chocolate and butter together until smooth. Dip rum balls into chocolate. When the chocolate begins to set (after a minute or so -- before it has set completely), sprinkle with sea salt. Let cool completely. Store in the freezer.

I've made these bonbons several times and I've never had any problems with them setting. I think the key is to use a candy thermometer to make sure the sugar syrup reaches the correct temperature.

I've made these bonbons several times and I've never had any problems with them setting. I think the key is to cook the sugar syrup to the correct temperature and to let the bonbons cool completely before dipping them in the chocolate.

I had trouble getting the bonbons to set. I think I may have overcooked the sugar syrup.

These bonbons are a bit too sweet for my taste. I would recommend using less sugar in the filling.
