Pina Colada Truffles (Malibu Truffles) image

Decadent boozey little balls made with Malibu rum--perfect for your holiday celebration! You can shape them into balls, or little oval egg-shapes for Easter. Allow flavors to mellow for one week, before eating. I like to refrigerate them and eat them cold-- fabulous!
