Chocolate Rum Balls

Welcome to my Christmas Recipe Countdown, where each day leading up to Christmas, I will be sharing recipes from some of my Friday Foodies, as well as a few from myself.

Be prepared for healthy, mouth watering recipes that will help you to cater for all your festive season parties, dinners and get togethers. Each recipe is gluten, dairy and refined sugar free.

On day 11 of my countdown, I am featuring Chocolate Rum Balls from Pia Scade.

What Pia says:

A family Christmas tradition in our house is good old rum balls.

But a couple of years ago I was doing a cleanse program over Christmas and didn't want to miss out.

So I got creative with some healthier ingredients.

Here's my favourite 'guilt free' recipe. Enjoy!!

Pia featured as my Friday Foodie back in September, where she shared her healthy oreos recipe.

Enjoy
