CHOCOLATE RUM BALLS

Category: Candy

1 cup heavy cream
18 oz semi-sweet chocolate, 1 lb broken into pieces and the rest finely grated
2/3 cup rum
1/2 lb walnuts, chopped (about 1 cup)

Put the cream in a saucepan, and bring it to a boil over medium heat. Add the 1 lb of chocolate pieces. Stir the mixture constantly with a wooden spoon until it is smooth and thick. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool. When it is cold, stir in the rum and chopped nuts. When the mixture becomes firm enough to handle, roll it into balls about the size of walnuts. Roll the balls in the grated chocolate.
