When firm, roll into small balls the size of a large marble and then dip in cocoa powder.

2 questions- is the coffee brewed or the powder and what can you substitute for the rum? I can’t find any kosher for pesach thanks!
I use brewed coffee. You can use instant coffee dissolved in water so just take 2 teaspoons instant coffee granules and mix it with 6 ounces of hot water. Use 2 tablespoons in the recipe and drink the rest 🙂
You can omit the rum or substitute it with any liqueour of your choice that is kosher for passover or use a fruit jelly, like raspberry or orange for a little fruit flavor in the chocolate.
