These freeze REALLY well. I like to make them a month or so before Christmas so if an unexpected party comes up or I need a last minute gift, they are ready to go. They also ship really well.

This is a great way to use up left over cake. I used some cake I had already made and more rum. I forgot to add the cocoa, but the cake I used was very chocolaty so didn't notice. Thanks

Kids loved these, adults were a little iffy and most gave them a thumbs down. I did not go overboard on the rum, just 2 tablespoons of Bacardi since I knew Kids would be eating them. They popped them like Dunkin's doughnut holes.

These were so easy and great tasting! I crumbled the cake in the same pan it was baked in while it was still warm, and that cooled it faster. I tripled the rum, as I like a stronger flavor, and they taste great, and I know they'll be even better after sitting a couple days. A word of advice to anyone looking to make these: be sure to chop the nuts fine enough or they won't stay in the mixture, I made this mistake.

This was very good. I would not say that it is "to die for", but VERY good. Very easy recipe and quick to make. Only downfall in preparation is that it is messy. When rolling the balls the batter/mix sticks to your hands.
