Hungarian Rum Balls

Rumgolyó

Every Hungarian grandmother has a tin of rumgolyó hidden somewhere in December. Made to use up leftover sponge and biscuit crumbs, rich with chocolate, walnuts and a good splash of dark rum, they are the sweet that disappears first from the Christmas platter. There is a children's version too.
