BEST CHOCOLATE RUM BALLS:

These might be the best rum balls you have ever tasted.

1 cup blanched ground almonds
1 cup sifted icing sugar
1 1/4 tsp. powdered instant coffee
3 oz. unsweetened chocolate (75 g)
5 Tbsp. dark rum (divided)
1 Tbsp. milk
1/2 cup dark chocolate vermicelli or unsweetened cocoa powder

Place almonds in a large bowl and sift in the icing sugar (confectioners') and instant coffee. Grate the chocolate and stir into the mixture. Sprinkle 3 Tbsp. of the rum and all of the milk over the dry ingredients. Stir until the mixture is evenly moistened and is a uniform dark brown. Refrigerate for 10 minutes.

Shape mixture into a ball and knead several times. Using your hands, roll into 3/4 inch balls. Dip each ball in remaining rum, shake off excess moisture and roll in chocolate vermicelli or cocoa powder to coat thickly. Place on wax paper to dry at room temperature for 1 hour. Place in an airtight container and refrigerate. Let ripen for a few days before serving. Makes 2 1/2 dozen.

NOTE: Petit-four cases are miniature paper cups designed to hold tiny cakes.
