RUM BALLS

     RUM-BALLS-2 - Chocolate rum truffles

     My mother makes this recipe. It is very simple and easy.

INGREDIENTS (makes 16)
     4 oz      semi-sweet chocolate
     1 Tbsp    whipping cream
     2 Tbsp    rum
     1 1/3 cups
               icing sugar, sifted
     2-3 oz    chocolate vermicelli

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Over slow heat, melt the chocolate and stir in
               cream and rum.

          (2)  Beat in the icing sugar until mixture is fairly
               stiff.

          (3)  Roll into small balls and coat with the chocolate
               vermicelli.

          (4)  Place on a cookie sheet, and refrigerate for
               several hours.

RATING
     Difficulty: easy.  Time: 15 minutes preparation, several
     hours cooling.  Precision: approximate measurement OK.
