Pigs in a Blanket and Chocolate Rum Balls Recipe

[NancyRogers]

Hey Nancy,
I'm responding to Trudy's request for an hors d'oeuvre recipe. Here is a recipe that someone gave me. I haven't tried it out yet, but I plan to this holiday season. I'm including another recipe that my girlfriend gave to me years ago. It's called Chocolate Rumballs. I have made the Rumballs many times & everyone in my family enjoyed them. If you have a sweet tooth...then you'll definitely enjoy this recipe.

Pigs in a blanket

2 - 8 oz. cans of Pillsbury Crescent Dinner Rolls
48 fully cooked thingytail smoked sausage links (you can find them in Wally world (known as Walmart)

1. Heat oven to 375 degrees.
2. Separate dough into 8 triangles.
3. Cut each triangle lengthwise into thirds.
4. Place sausage on shortest side and roll to opposite points.
5. Place on a ungreased cookie sheet until golden brown.
6. Serve warm.

Chocolate Rumballs

3 - 6 oz. pkgs. of semisweet chocolate morsels
1 - 14 oz. can Eagle brand sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup Dark Rum (Puerto Rican rum)
1 - pkg. of flaked coconut

In heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt morsels with
Eagle condensed milk; Remove from heat. Stir 1/4
cup of Dark Rum into melted chocolate mixture.
Chill for 2 hours. Shape into 3/4 - inch balls and roll
in flaked coconut. Chill until firm. Store at room
temperature in a tightly covered container.
(Flavor of these candies improves after 24 hours.)

Enjoy! Dorry in VA

Hi Dorry,

I was wondering if you thought another substitute for a coating on the rumballs was OK as most of this household doesn't like coconut. Maybe confectioner's sugar or cocoa?

Thanks.
