Instructions
1
✓
Crush the vanilla wafers into fine crumbs.
Tip: The finer the crumbs, the smoother the truffle texture.
2
✓
Mix in the confectioners' sugar and sifted cocoa powder.
Tip: Sifting prevents bitter cocoa lumps.
3
✓
Melt the butter and pour it over the crumbs along with the milk and rum. Knead until combined.
Tip: The dry crumbs will absorb the liquid and swell into a soft dough.
4
✓
With wet hands, roll into balls and coat in sprinkles.
Tip: Wet hands prevent the sticky, sugary mass from clinging to you.
5
✓
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour before serving.
Tip: Chilling firms up the butter, giving the balls a truffle-like consistency.
