Ingredients

1/3 cup whipping cream

6 tablespoons unsalted butter

1 tablespoon rum or brandy flavoring

8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, broken into chunks

6 ounces bittersweet chocolate

2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening

6 ounces almonds, finely ground

Directions

1. Heat the whipping cream and butter together just to a simmer, then add chocolate. Remove from heat while chocolate melts. Add flavoring. Stir until glossy and pour into a chilled bowl. Set aside until firm.

2. Once firm, use a small melon baller and scoop ganache out. Roll by hand and set aside.

3. Melt 6 ounces bittersweet chocolate with 2 tablespoons solid vegetable shortening in the microwave for about 1 minute. Stir until melted; microwave additional seconds as needed. Drop each ball individually into chocolate, roll with a fork until coated, then use the fork to lift out and place into a bowl with the finely ground almonds. Roll around until coated, then lift out and place on parchment. Chill and keep refrigerated.
