Rum Balls

These are a tasty addition to a holiday party.

Rum Balls
2 c. semi sweet chocolate chips, divided
2 TB raspberry rum
1/2 c. finely chopped pecans

Line cookie sheet with parchment paper. Melt 1 1/4 cups chocolate chips in microwave; be careful not to burn. When melted add rum and continue stirring until well combined; mixture will become thick. Refrigerate until cool then drop mixture by teaspoonfuls onto cookie sheet. Shape into balls. Melt remaining chocolate and dip the balls into the melted chocolate then roll in the pecans. (coconut can also be used.)
