Instructions

1. Step 1

   Gather the ingredients.

2. Step 2

   Place the chocolate chips or chopped chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring after every 45 seconds to prevent overheating.

   Once the chocolate is melted, add the corn syrup and rum and stir until combined.

   Cover the bowl with cling wrap and place the mixture in the refrigerator until it is firm enough to shape—about 1 hour.

6. Step 6

   Using a small candy scoop or a spoon, roll the candy into small 1-inch balls between your palms.

7. Step 7

   Place the remaining 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar in a small bowl, and roll the balls in the sugar. (Alternatively, the balls can be rolled in chopped nuts or cocoa powder).

8. Step 8

   Store the balls in the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature before serving.
