Ingredients Serving: 12

Cake crumbs ..... 2 cups
Lemon rind ........ 1 tsp
Cinnamon powder .. 1/2 tsp ( you can also replace it with a pinch of nutmeg or all spice)
Walnuts ... handful (crushed)
Raisins .... 2-3 tbsps
Candied fruit .. 2-3 tbsps.
Rum .............. few tbsps ( can also use brandy..If using rum essence, dilute a few drops in milk and add)
Melted chocolate .... 100 gms

Instructions

Mix enough rum to the mix so that it is moistened enough to make balls out of it. If you want to add less rum then use a little milk. If you completely want to skip alcohol then use rum essence diluted with milk.
Using a double boiler method, melt the chocolate until smooth. You can do it in the microwave also. But you have to judge the time correctly depending on the quantity of the chocolate. I prefer double boiler method..you can never go wrong.
Let it cool a bit and mix all the ingredients with it. Refrigerate until it hardens a little.
Make balls and coat them with dessicated coconut or colourful sprinkles.
