These rum balls are made with toasted walnuts, so I used pieces of walnut as a garnish on top. Partly because it looks nice, but also to let anyone with an allergy know to avoid them.

For a nice contrast, add a white chocolate drizzle to half of the rum balls. It will dress up your platter a bit!

I always melt chocolate over simmering water, unless I have a very small amount to melt. It’s easier to keep an eye on the chocolate and I don’t run the risk of burning it.
