Easy Chocolate Rum Truffles – yes it’s Christmas time

To get you into the Christmas mode quickly, I will serve you a handpicked selection of my favorite Christmas baking recipes during the next weeks. Easy recipes which are a MUST for every Christmas season.
Today we enter the super, super easy section of our Christmas baking journey. Just 4 ingredients and you don’t need to cook or bake anything.
Is no-bake technically seen baking? Whatever, I think you don’t care. These Chocolate Rum Truffles are delicious, easy, and quick. Exactly what you are looking for, right?
As you can see in the video, it’s the easiest ever Christmas baking recipe.
You just need 4 ingredients!! Butter, chocolate, rum, cocoa. Oh man, it is like you eat an ultra creamy, tenderly melting chocolate ball with a very present rum taste. The rum taste is on the spot. Not too much and not too less.
Although I dusted mine with a good amount of cocoa before serving, you can skip that if you want to. Decorate them with sprinkles on top, chocolate lines, or eat them just as they are. It’s up to your preference. I added a hint of gold dust on a few truffles just for the eye.
These Chocolate Rum Truffles are an absolute highlight in this Christmas baking season, they are
- oh so creamy
- chocolatey
- boozy
- easy
- irresistible
- peeeeerfect
Happy Christmas baking, or no-bake baking?! Whatever.

Creamy, boozy, chocolatey. These Easy Chocolate Rum Truffles require just 4 ingredients. No cooking, no baking!
- 1/2 cup butter (113g)
- 1 + 1/2 cups chocolate melted (9.3 oz / 262g)
- 4 tbsp rum
- 2 + 1/3 cups chocolate melted (14.1 oz / 400g)
- 5 tbsp cocoa
With a handheld or stand mixer fitted with a whisk attachment beat butter on medium speed until soft for about 1-2 minutes. Add melted chocolate and mix until creamy for about 1 minute. Add rum and mix on low speed until well combined and smooth. Cool for about 5 minutes in the fridge until firm enough to scoop with an ice cream scoop.
Roll truffles quickly into balls. Don’t roll too long or the truffles will begin to melt in your hands. Cool for about 1 hour in the fridge, or 10-15 minutes in the freezer.
Dip truffles in melted chocolate and let dry in the fridge for about 10-15 minutes. Sprinkle with cocoa before serving. Store leftovers in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.

Thanks for the recipe, I will try it out soon.
You are very welcome! I love to share all my favorite recipes with you.
What kind of rum do you use? I’m sure it would taste great with any =) but wondering if you use white gold or spiced? For that matter coconut would probably be yummy too!
I used gold rum for this recipe. Yes, coconut would be a perfect fit too. Merry Christmas, Bethany!
Hi, is it milk or dark chocolate?
Hi Dianna, I used dark chocolate.
