“These truffles will be soft inside despite that it feels firm on the outside. You only need to store them in a cool place, but not necessarily the fridge. Make sure you always use an airtight container! Be sure to use good quality chocolate!” - by TOO TOO

Ingredients

8 (1 ounce) squares bittersweet chocolate, chopped
1/4 cup cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/2 cup chocolate cake crumbs
2 teaspoons dark rum
