Truffle Mixture
- Crush the butter cookies with a blender or place them in a sealable bag and use a rolling pin to crush them into fine crumbs.
- Pour the crumbs into a bowl and stir together with the rum. Set aside.
- Melt the chocolate in the microwave or using a double boiler.
- Remove the chocolate from the heat and stir in the softened butter. Continue stirring until it is fully mixed in.
- Pour in the rum soaked cookie crumbs and salt, and stir until fully combined.
- Place the mixture in the fridge to chill for 30-45 minutes, stirring every 5-10 minutes to ensure it cools evenly.
Shaping
- Once the truffle mixture is cool enough to scoop, scoop out tablespoon sized balls and place them on a tray or plate.
- Roll each one between your hands to create a nice sphere and then roll in the desired coating.
