The rum and raisin recipe will impress your loved ones, and it is a great dessert to be served at a gettogether, Christmas, or easter party. It also makes a great gift for Valentine’s day or special occasions like your anniversary.

It is super quick and easy to make. Although I don’t drink alcohol, I love the smell and flavor of rum in desserts. Only in a subtle way and not the overpowering flavor.

Pros and Cons of being a food blogger ๐Ÿ™‚

There is one thing I don’t like about food blogging, and that’s the never-ending pile of dirty dishes. Things that I absolutely love doing are melting chocolate first thing in the morning, dreaming about food and new recipes, reading food-related stuff, being able to try new things that I would have never wandered into otherwise.

Baking bug has bitten me a long time ago, and it doesn’t show any signs of stopping. I was always fascinated with the art of bread making, and my search has brought me to Josey Baker Bread. Josey Baker is a San Francisco Baking sensation.

His book explains wholesome bread baking methods and recipes made with sourdough starter and not the commercial yeast. If you are aware of sourdough starter, then you know how exciting that is, but for those who are new, in simple words, it’s cultivating your own yeast. It takes two weeks before you can first use the yeast. I am breeding my little pet in a jar. I will let you know how it turns out, and then let’s bake our own wholesome bread. Hope you are looking forward to it ๐Ÿ™‚

Do not go by the plain look. It has rum-soaked raisins in between. If you don’t have time to soak raisins in rum, check the notes for quick options.

One more day for Valentine’s day, and if you have still not thought of what to get or make, then this is for you. A no-bake chocolate dessert, which is quick, easy, and with a Lil surprise inside like the Brownie truffles/rum balls.no bake dessert, special occasion, valentines day, christmas, with rum, rum, easy dessert, best dessert, chocolate boxBox it up. I got this box from Michael’s craft store.

6: Line a box with wax paper and place the rum and raisin cups. You can peel the wrapper or choose not to peel. I personally like to see the ridges once it is peeled.

Recipe Notes

An alternative to mini cupcake liners is chocolate molds.

If you don't have time to soak raisins, add a tablespoon of rum to melted chocolate and use the filling you like.

Soak the raisins in rum for at least a day in advance.

If not using rum, add you favorite filling of nuts in between without soaking in alcohol. Add a teaspoon of vanilla extract to melted chocolate.
