I know nothing about toasting walnuts. Do you toast them first before grinding? And could you just use walnuts that you didn't toast? Thanks.

Hello! Yes, you toast the walnuts before grinding and you could also use walnuts that aren't toasted. :) Enjoy!

Do you need to let the chocolate cool down first?

Hello! - Yes, the chocolate needs to be covered and chilled for around 2-3 hours (or until the mixture is firm), so that you can roll it into balls. Enjoy!

I want to try this recipe but I have a couple of questions, before I do - can these Fudge balls be made into Rum Balls? If so how much rum would I add /or would I need to increase the other ingredients? My mom said she had rum balls made from a similar recipe back in the 1950-60's, but hasn't been able to find the recipe, again. However, since then every recipe she has seen, adds vanilla wafers or some other cookie and that's not what she wants. Can you help?

The dough was extremely difficult to get out of the bowl. I think they're good though...like eating chocolate air, so creamy

These are scrumptious little slices of heaven. You can even add some flavored extract for another layer of yummy. I make these often myself and they don't last to long.
