CHRISTMAS TREATS OR GIFTS

Addicting rum ball delights

A GOOD THING for
me that the sum total of

Christmas baking is not

entirely vested in the
seasonal cakes. | can

still share in the special
preparations for the
holiday by making
shortbread and other
treats that can fill a dual
role: as well as being of-
fered to guests, they can

be attractively packaged
and given as gifts.

Shortbread is best made
now and stored to mellow; so
are these ‘“‘Christmas Rum
Balls’’ of Diane Clements’.
They must have at least two
weeks of ripening, she says,
and you’ll have to find some
secret place for them during
this period---l'd suggest your
safety-deposit box or some
equally inviolable  storage-
place. They’re addictive.

She says they'll keep four
weeks in the refrigerator, but

Combine the melted
chocolate, sour cream, al-
mond paste and salt, cream
well and set aside.

In another bowl, combine
the wafer crumbs with the re-
maining ingredients, except
for the chocolate shot.

Mix the two bowds together
and stir and knead until it is
thoroughly blended.

Refrigerate to make it possi-
ble to handle.

REIl spoonfulls of the mix-
ture in the palm of your
hand, then in the chocolate
sprinkles, and lay the balls on
waxed paper and let them
firm up overnight in the
refrigerator. Then they can
be stored, or frozen,
preferably under lock and
key. They don’t really freeze
hard, but bringing them out
early allows the rum to assert
itself, too.

new Management - Come and see the difference

the recipe makes about a
hundred, which may interfere
with space available at
general party time, so the
solution is freezing. Just be
sure you bring them out, even
a few at a time, a day or so
before serving, so that they’ll
arrive at room temperature
and their best flavor, too.
The mixing doesn’t take
overly long, but rolling the
actual balls can take quite a

while, so you’re assured by
Diane that it doesn’t hurt
them to do part of the
Preparation and then store
the bowl in the refrigerator
unul you're free again. They
are definitely worth your
time---they have a= special
nougaly texture owing to the
inclusion of both sour cream
and marzipan in the mixture
