Trader Joe's is expanding its selection of limited time holiday desserts to include the new Trader Joe’s Rum Balls.
If you've never had one before, rum balls are a truffle-like confectionery cake shaped into bite-sized balls made from chocolate and rum. Trader Joe’s Rum Balls stick to this signature recipe by using real run and fudgy chocolate. The balls are actually made for Trader Joe's by Denmark’s premier producer of the classic Danish confection known as romkugler. The result is a rich, bite-sized treat that pairs perfectly with a steaming cup of coffee or an after-dinner spirit.
Best of all, Trader Joe’s Rum Balls come in a fun, retro-inspired package that makes the dessert easy for gifting, especially during the holiday season.
