Little Drunk Rum Balls

When a guest left a half bottle of rum after a visit it sat in the cupboard as I don't drink it. But hell I eat these babies so today I made rum balls, yummy mouthfuls of stress relief, just keep these away from the kiddies. I can't remember the last time I had one of these probably 30 years ago at least. and Oh my gosh theses are lush..!

What you need:

350 g chocolate cake mix (any cheap basic mix will do )
1/2 cup Bundaberg Rum
200 g sweetened condensed milk (give or take)
1 tablespoon instant coffee powder
1 tablespoon  cocoa powder
1/4 cup hot water
2 x 375 blocks dark cooking chocolate
4 x 150 g chocolate sprinkles

What to Do: 

 1. Bake cake as per the packet instructions and allow to cool.
 2. Crumb the chocolate cake into fine crumbs.
 3. Dissolve the cocoa and instant coffee in hot water and then toss evenly through crumbs.
 4. Pour the rum over crumbs and toss through evenly.
 5. Slowly knead in sweetened condensed milk, a little at a time until mixture is firm but moist.
 6. Refrigerate for at least an hour.
 7. Roll mixture into teaspoon sized balls approximately 2-3 cm in diameter.
 8. Melt chocolate in bowl over saucepan on low heat.
 9. Dip rum balls in chocolate, shake off excess then roll in sprinkles and place in small paper patty cups.

Notes: 

You can roll alternate batches in coconut as well to mix it up a bit.
