Rum balls are a popular Christmas treat in Europe and English-speaking countries. Made from crushed biscuits and nuts, they form small truffles and require no baking. As the name suggests, this dessert contains rum, and since the balls are not cooked, the alcohol is preserved. Let the rum balls sit for two days and enjoy with friends!
