Chocolate rum balls

I feel fatigued for the first time this month. I think it's the first time I exercised vigorously. My body has gotten so unfit, my system was shocked after I ran 3 Km today. While on the treadmill, I was imagining the mornings and afternoons I spent running on campus grounds while I was still studying in Belgium. I'm looking forward to running on campus again once I arrive in Australia. Meanwhile, I will be burning my calories on the treadmill we bought for my mom this Christmas. I really love our gift for her not only because it will really help my mom lose weight, but also because it will also help me stay in shape! I need to burn the calories I gain thanks to the many experiments I am performing in the kitchen. Yes, I did another kitchen experiment today. 

I wanted to "recycle" the leftover chocolate cake by making chocolate rum balls. These rum balls are so easy to make. Follow these simple steps:

Remove the left over cake from the fridge.

Throw in the food processor to make cake crumbs. I used 2 cups cake crumbs.

Get hold of 1 1/2 c. nuts. In this case, I used cashew.

Throw the nuts in the food processor until they're finely chopped.

With the nuts and cake crumbs, add 2 T corn syrup, 1/4 c sugar 2 T unsweetened cocoa and 1/4 c rum. Roll into 1-inch balls.

Obtain 1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate.

Slice any bar of white chocolate you can fund.

Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and coat the rum balls.

Decorate your rum balls. I used the white chocolate to top the chocolate-coated rum balls.

You can also sprinkle the rum balls with confectioner's sugar, nuts or powdered cocoa.

And there you have it! You can make about 40 1-inch rum balls using this recipe.

Good night for now. I think I need to sink in my dreamland.
