2 minute read

Rum balls, also known as rum balls or rum ball sweets, are small balls soaked in rum and often dipped in chocolate. They are a popular sweet in many European countries, especially in Austria and Germany.

The history of rum balls dates back to the 19th century, when they were first produced in Austria. They were originally sold as a medicine to relieve coughs and colds. Over time, however, they became a popular sweet and are now available in many different flavors.

Rum balls are made from a combination of chocolate and rum. The chocolate can be either milk, dark or white chocolate. The rum is soaked into the balls, giving them their characteristic flavor. Some manufacturers also add nuts, fruit or spices to vary the flavor.

One of the best-known brands of rum balls is"Pischinger". It has been very popular in Austria and Germany for many years and offers a large selection of different flavors. There are also many smaller manufacturers that produce handmade rum balls in limited editions, such as"Jacob's".
