đ„ Step-by-Step Instructions
1ïžâŁ Prep the Fruit
- Chop the dried fruit into tiny pieces. No need for perfectionâjust small enough to mix well.
- Pour the rum (or orange juice) over the fruit, stir, and let it soak for 10 minutes.
2ïžâŁ Mix the Dry Ingredients
- In a big bowl, combine the ground walnuts, crushed biscuits, and powdered sugar.
- Give it a quick stirâthis is your flavor-packed base.
3ïžâŁ Stir in the Jam & Fruit
- Take your soaked fruit and mix it with the cherry jam.
- Pour this sticky, fruity goodness into your dry ingredients.
- Use a spoon or your hands to mix everything into a dough-like consistency. (Yes, itâs messy, but worth it!)
4ïžâŁ Roll Into Balls
- Scoop out small pieces and roll them into bite-sized balls.
- If the dough sticks, wet your hands slightlyâthis makes rolling much easier.
- Place the balls on a parchment-lined tray.
5ïžâŁ Chill Time!
- Pop the tray in the fridge for 15 minutesâthis helps them firm up before dipping.
6ïžâŁ Melt the Chocolate
- While the balls chill, break up the dark chocolate and melt it using a double boiler (or in short bursts in the microwave).
- Stir in the oilâthis makes the coating smooth and glossy.
7ïžâŁ Dip & Decorate
- Take the chilled walnut balls and dip them into the melted chocolate, coating them evenly.
- Let the extra chocolate drip off, then place them back on the tray.
- Sprinkle some crushed walnuts on top for a finishing touch.
8ïžâŁ Final Chill & Enjoy!
-
Refrigerate for another 20 minutes to let the chocolate set.
-
Now, theyâre ready to eat! Try not to devour them all at once. đ
