The Choco Rumball Chocolate Treat.

The chill is still there in the air, and it is time to dig into some sweet nothings. You can have your fill of the tastiest sweet Choco Rumball. And, that is what we are going to do. 

A typical Choco Rumball contains flour, butter, sugar, baking soda, eggs, vanilla extract, and rum. They are all the more popular during the holiday season. Moreover, these are traditional recipes handed down for several generations. 

Choco Rumballs are alcoholic and contain less than 0.5 % alcohol, but few contain 5%. So, if you want to get a slightly high, you can have them. But the truth is that the rum evaporates once the cakes are baked. They are simply harmless. It is one of the most delectable desserts that the world loves. 

You need to have a large quantity before you can experience the alcohol. 

Where Choco Rumball is Originated?

Many of you might think about how Indians came to taste such rum balls. Not all of us take alcohol, do we? The Danish bakers are the ones who originally made rum balls. After making bread and other savoury delicacies, the bakers invented this delicacy to have no leftover dough. 

The bakers also had leftover Danish pastries and cakes that were not sold out. They mixed all the leftovers and mixed them with cocoa powder and rum. They rolled the sticky mixture into round balls. After that, they decorated them with dried and desiccated coconut. So, most of you know where they came from. 

Going back to childhood, you must have had your fill while returning from school. Well, all of us did. It happens to be a tasty treat for all. 

So, today Payel Ghosh, a working woman who loves to bake, has something for all of you. It’s called Cake Again. She enjoys baking and decorating and has also involved her eight-year-old daughter.

She has made the rum balls her own. You will find her personal touches in the Danish recipe.
