Coconut Rum Balls (Kokuszgolyo)

These Hungarian rum balls are perfect for any time snack during the day and even for midnight sweet tooth craving :)

These rum balls are great for party as well, just place them into mini cupcake liner and place nicely on your dessert table :)

4 tbsp honey

1 tbsp cocoa powder

50 g butter

1L milk

4-5 tbsp peach/apricot jam

2 tbsp rum

50 g desiccated coconut, unsweetened

For rolling:

100-150 g desiccated coconut, unsweetened

Crush cookies to fine crumbs

Add in dry ingredients, mix well

Roll into balls and chill for 1-2 H then roll into coconut OR you can shape into balls, roll into coconut, and chill
