- 8 1 ounce squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1/2 cup chocolate cake crumbs
- 2 teaspoons dark rum
- 1/2 cup chocolate sprinkles
Prepare Pan: Line a sheet pan with aluminum foil or parchment paper.
Melt Chocolate: Place chopped chocolate in a heatproof bowl. In a small saucepan, combine the cream and butter, bringing it to a boil over low heat. Pour over the chocolate, stirring until smooth and melted.
Mix Truffle Base: Add the cake crumbs and rum to the chocolate mixture, stirring until combined. Set aside until the mixture is firm but not too hard.
Form Truffles: Scoop heaping teaspoons of the chocolate mixture, rolling them into balls, then roll each ball in chocolate sprinkles to coat.
Chill and Serve: Place the truffles on the prepared tray and refrigerate for 30 minutes, or until firm. Serve in small paper cups.
