Thanks Alexandra - I grew up with rum & raisin flavors, especially in ice cream. So I thought it would work well in truffles!

I love the rum raisin addition to these truffles! I've never heard of using those flavors in a truffle, but it makes sense since they go so well together in bread and ice cream. Adding dark chocolate can only make the whole thing better. :)

What a perfect gift (to me!).... =) My mom used to make truffles with rum. She didn't bake much but I remember for Valentine's she made truffles that has rum in it. I don't drink alcohol much but I remember her truffles were delicious. Your post brought back the memory.... Very gorgeous truffles! I can easily eat a couple (meaning more than 10).
