Rum Cake Truffles image

This is my "go-to" holiday candy recipe. These truffles are so easy, but look like they came from a premiere candy maker! My mother always made rum cake for Christmas. This truffle recipe keeps those warm flavors and transforms them into bite-sized beauties!

These truffles were a bit too boozy for my taste, but they were still good. I would recommend using less rum next time.
