These rich and fudgy Chocolate Rum Balls are like bite-sized chocolate truffles made from chocolate cake, dark rum, and sweetened condensed milk—rolled in chocolate sprinkles for a deliciously indulgent, nut-free treat.

Ingredients

Scale
  • One 9×13 baked chocolate cake (from a mix or homemade)
  • 1/2 cup dark or spiced rum (or bourbon)
  • 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
  • 1/3 cup chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

  1. Crumble the baked chocolate cake into a medium mixing bowl.
  2. Add the rum and sweetened condensed milk to the crumbled cake.
  3. Mix until the ingredients are fully combined and a dough forms that holds together when rolled.
  4. Roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
  5. Coat each ball completely in chocolate sprinkles.
  6. Place the rum balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
  7. Freeze the balls individually first, then transfer them to a sealed container for storage.
  8. For best flavor, let rum balls rest in the refrigerator for a few days before serving. Otherwise, keep frozen until ready to enjoy.

Notes

  • Use your favorite chocolate cake recipe or a boxed mix for the base.
  • Flavor improves after resting for a few days in the fridge.
  • Store frozen for longer shelf life and thaw before serving.
  • Great for holidays, parties, or edible gifts.
