Smooth dark rum, pure Capilano honey, walnuts and coconut meld together to create a festive twist on this classic recipe that might just be, the bees knees!
45g (1⁄2 cup) desiccated coconut, plus 5 tbsp, extra
1 tbsp (20ml) dark rum (optional)
150g dark chocolate melts
Crushed honeycomb, to sprinkle
Line 2 baking trays with baking paper. Coarsely break the biscuits into a food processor. Add honey, apricots, walnuts and coconut. Process until well combined and mixture comes together. Transfer half the mixture to a bowl and reserve the remaining half in the food processor.
Place 3 tbs extra coconut in a shallow bowl. Roll level tablespoonfuls of the honey mixture in the bowl into balls. Roll in coconut to coat. Place on 1 prepared tray. Set aside to set.
Add the rum and remaining extra 2 tbs coconut to the reserved honey mixture in the processor. Process until combined then roll level tablespoonfuls into balls.
Place chocolate melts in a small, deep microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on Medium, stirring occasionally, for 2 minutes or until melted and smooth. Use a fork to dip the rum balls, 1 at a time, in the chocolate to coat. Gently tap the fork on the side of the bowl to remove excess chocolate. Use a skewer to gently slide the ball onto remaining prepared tray. Sprinkle with a little honeycomb. Repeat with the remaining rum balls, chocolate and honeycomb. Set aside to set. Store in airtight containers in the fridge. Drizzle over extra honey to serve.
Tips: If you can’t find plain honeycomb, trim the chocolate off honeycomb chocolate bars. Keep stored in an airtight container for up to a week (if they last that long!)
