Ingredients

8 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
0.25 cup cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
0.5 cup chocolate cake crumbs
2 teaspoons dark rum
0.5 cup chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

Prepare a sheet pan by lining it with aluminum foil or parchment paper. Place the finely chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl, ready for melting.
In a saucepan, combine the cream and butter. Heat over low heat, stirring occasionally, until the mixture comes to a gentle boil. Pour the hot cream mixture over the chopped chocolate and stir until the chocolate is completely melted and the mixture is smooth and glossy. Stir in the cake crumbs and rum until well combined. Set the mixture aside to firm up slightly, ensuring it remains pliable for rolling.
Roll generous teaspoonfuls of the chocolate mixture into smooth, round balls. Then, gently roll each truffle in chocolate sprinkles, ensuring they are fully coated. Place the finished truffles on the prepared tray. Refrigerate for approximately 30 minutes, or until firm to the touch. Serve these delectable rum truffles in small paper cups for an elegant presentation.
