Why This Dish Is A Crowd Favorite

These sweet bites are quick to make and require no baking. They combine rich flavors with a hint of rum, making them a delightful treat for any occasion. Plus, they’re easy to customize with your favorite mix-ins.

Step 1

Melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a pot of simmering water. Stir it often with a spatula, making sure to scrape down the sides so it doesn’t burn. Once it’s smooth and fully melted, take it off the heat and let it cool a bit.

Step 2

While the chocolate is cooling, beat the cream cheese in a bowl until it’s nice and creamy. Slowly add in the powdered sugar and rum, mixing until everything is well combined. Then, pour in the melted chocolate and mix it all together until smooth.

Step 3

Now, scoop out small amounts of the mixture and roll them into bite-sized balls. Roll each ball in chopped nuts to coat them. Pop the treats into the fridge and let them chill until they’re firm and ready to enjoy.
