1 c walnuts, ground or finely chopped
 2 c grated German sweet or bittersweet chocolate
 1 1/2 c. sifted confectioner's sugar
 1 to 4 Tbsp. rum
 cocoa powder
 Combine nuts, sugar, and chocolate. Moisten with rum to form a
 stiff dough.  Form into small balls and roll in cocoa to coat.
 This recipe is not only simple, it's flexible. It can be made with
 other kinds of liquor (amaretto, sherry, and Southern Comfort work
 well), nuts (almonds or pecans, for instance) and coatings (ground
 nuts, finely grated coconut, etc.) and always comes out tasting
 great. Adding small chunks of nut for texture is also effective.
 These usually disappear in a hurry.
