This is a recipe that's a must during Christmas. I make it every year, especially because it is my daughter's favorite.

Transform your favorite boxed chocolate cake mix into these decadent rum balls. They're a boozy and decadent treat. Adding chopped raisins to the cake crumbs gives these truffles a plump texture. Super chocolaty, these truffles are fudgy and chewy. They would make a wonderful holiday gift.
