CHOCOLATE RUM BALLS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Arrange the almonds in a single layer on a baking sheet and place in the center of the oven. Toast the almonds until golden brown, 5 to 8 minutes. Let cool. Arrange the almonds on a flat surface and coarsely chop them with a large knife. Set aside.
• In a medium metal bowl, combine the chocolates. Create a makeshift double boiler by filling a pot that will hold the bowl snugly with about 2 inches of water. (The bowl should not touch the water.) Bring the water to a boil, then lower the heat so that the water is simmering. Set the bowl of chocolate over the pot, stirring with a heatproof spatula from time to time, until the chocolate is melted, 3 to 5 minutes.
• In a small pan, simmer the honey over medium heat until it bubbles, froths and turns amber brown, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and gently stir the honey into the chocolate.
• Use a strainer or sifter to sift the powdered sugar over the chocolate-honey mixture and stir it in, along with the almonds, rum and vanilla, until smooth.
• Place the sprinkles in a cookie tin or container with a fitted lid. Roll the chocolate mixture into small balls (about 1 1/2 inches) and arrange on a baking sheet. Spill the sprinkles over the chocolates and press the sprinkles into the exterior of each to make them stick.
• When all are rolled, sprinkle them with salt and store them in the container nestled in the remaining sprinkles. Refrigerate, if needed, but serve closer to room temperature.

• Finely crumble 1/2 of the cake in a large mixing bowl, drizzle with 2 of the shots of rum. Toss to thoroughly coat cake crumbs.
• Crumble other 1/2 of cake into the bowl. Drizzle with remaining 2 shots of rum, again toss thoroughly.

LOW CARB CHOCOLATE RUM BALLS

Steps:

• Note about erythritol:
• I realize that the erythritol is a special ingredient.
• Some stores are starting to carry powdered sugar alcohols, or you can order online from Netrition or other places.
• I haven't figured out how to make really delicious chocolate treats without it at this point.
• Erythritol is the sugar alcohol with the least blood sugar impact, but you can use others.
• If the erythritol you use isn't powdered, it won't dissolve much in this recipe, so I recommend running it through a blender first, but I'm happy that the most recent erythritol I got came powdered, which is great.
• Mix all dry ingredients together in bowl.
• Add vanilla and liquor.
• If the artifical sweetener is liquid and concentrated, add it to the liquor.
• Since there are different liquid sweeteners of different concentrations, you may have to play with the total amount of liquid, and cut down on the liquor, or add water.
• Usually the total liquid you want is about 2.5-3 T.
• Add the liquid slowly and mix until it all comes together.
• Roll into balls.
• The flavors will mellow over the next few days.
• Store in refrigerator or cool place.
• Carbs depend on serving size.
• 17 balls will get you exactly 1 gram of effective carbohydrate per ball, plus a tad over a gram of alcohol and 1.5 grams of fiber.

CHOCOLATE WALNUT RUM BALLS
