1 stick butter, cut into small pieces

2 tablespoons dark rum

Chocolate sprinkles, for rolling

Bummer, not the best recipe. For those that had a crumbly mess - or those that haven't made yet - hold back a bit of the powdered sugar until you know you need it all since the chocolate can have varying amounts of moisture/fat (especially if not using bittersweet). Also, I hate to say, but for me - this isn't a rum ball recipe - it's a chocolate truffle recipe and not near as good as others Alex makes. Rum balls would have cookie/cake crumbles to make the mix, not just chocolate and sugar - I just want to clarify that for those who are new to rum balls and don't like this version - try a recipe using the cake/cookie crumbs before you decide about "rum balls" overall. Love Alex so much, just not this particular recipe.
