I have never made rum balls before but these sound even better. Cheers!
ReplyDeleteThese bonbons are a superb idea for Christmas home made gifts. Quick to prepare and mouth-watering :) I note the recipe, thanks. Have a great we, bye
ReplyDeletethose are some lolcats waiting to happen!
ReplyDeleteI didn't see these when I was in Ireland or I would have had to stay longer. They sound fantastic.
ReplyDeleteYour cats are so adorable!
ReplyDeleteAfter that last use of Irish cream in baking I am getting kind of low. Will need to get some soon if I want to be able to enjoy these goodies. i am with Jersey Girl-these do sound more tasty than the traditional rum balls-yum! Have a great day.
I would get drunk off of these!
ReplyDeleteGreat treat!Your cats are so cute!!!xxx
ReplyDeleteDear Claudia, These are wonderful and sound easy to prepare. Have a blessed day my friend, Catherine xo
ReplyDeleteI want come over and indulge at your home. There's always something amazing and these are such tasty presents - all wrapped up with some devilish Irish Cream.
ReplyDeleteP.S. There's no way I could get a hat on Pippin! The photo made me smile.
Yep, Fonzo and Trina are looking a bit suspicious. I think they would get along with my Rocky and Fido!
ReplyDeleteIrresistible treats Claudia! And your cats are so cute! They definitely look like they were up to something.
ReplyDeleteOoooh, if I were to make these with Kahlua, they would never survive to the holidays with me and my wife around! Looks amazing!
ReplyDeleteThese Irish Creme balls look delicious! And Fonzo and Trina, cool cats!
ReplyDeleteAnother winner, Claudia!!! YUM.
ReplyDeleteDelicious recipe and lovely cats.
ReplyDeleteI love the cats! I have two at my house almost just like that. Frisco and Amelie. I don't think I could get them to put hats on though. I don't have Irish Cream, but I have Bailey's. I wonder if this would work well with that?
ReplyDeleteI can see those disappearing in a matter of second! Yumm:)
ReplyDeleteThese look so delicious! They are perfect to serve at a holiday party! And they're simple, which is my kind of recipe. Haha...your cats do look a little bit tipsy :)
ReplyDeleterum balls have no appeal to me but switching it up for baileys...wow, these would not last long around me :) your cats are adorable! stay sane in the stores this xmas!
ReplyDeleteOh my! These sounds beyond-amazing.
ReplyDeleteYum, yum, yum! I love alcohol-flavored chocolate balls!
