Best Chocolate Cranberry Nut Balls Recipes
CHOCOLATE CRANBERRY RUM BALLS
Have a photocopy of a page from a cookbook, unfortunately not sure where it came from. This is what the recipe description says: "These say Merry Christmas through and through - a special treat made just for you!" These rum balls made a great gift to family last Christmas, they are definitively worth sharing (plan to do it every year). As with most, these rum balls are best if let mellow for a few days, otherwise the rum flavor is overpowering.
