Rum Balls
These rum balls are the real deal. The traditional rum balls, like Grandma used to make. Literally. This recipe comes from my beautiful friend Sarah, and it came from her Grandma. Sarah has been making these rum balls for years – but only since last year has she implemented the use of her thermo mixer! Before that she was cutting all the sultanas up with scissors so they were the perfect size! Needless to say, this is a much easier method, but still with a delicious result. Enjoy! - Bec
