   12       oz           Semisweet chocolate chips
      1/2   c            Whipping cream
    1 1/2   ts           Rum extract
    1       t            Vanilla
      1/2   c            Powdered sugar
      1/4   c            Unsweetened cocoa powder
 
   Melt chips with whipping cream in heavy, medium
   saucepan over low heat, stirring occasionally.  Whisk

   pie pan.  Refrigerate until mixture is fudgy, but
   soft, about 75 minutes.  Shape about 1 T into 1 1/4
   inch ball. To shape, roll mixture in your palms. Place
   balls on waxed paper. Sift powdered sugar and cocoa
   into a shallow bowl.  Roll balls in sugar-cocoa
   mixture; place in petit four or candy cases.
