    dear aunty yo, this chocolate truffle looks super yummy.....

    wanted to give it a try.

    may i know what brand of rum you are using? where to get it? how much $$$ ?

    if i'm not wrong, rum have two type, dark and white (dry)....
    what is the diff?
    I'm really "kampong" in liquer :)

    is this the same rum for snowskin rum&raisin mooncake that selling out side?

    i went to paragon, basement, there is one shop sell wine (opposite paragon market place), they have rum but can't explain how to use etc, end up i've to seek your advise before buy the rum :)

    thanks in advance

    hi n2inpink,

    you can get rum in most places like Jasons. Buy Myer's dark rum or Captain Morgan.

    Hi Yan,

    Yes, you have to remove from the heat to prevent the chocolate from separating into oil and milk. This would be delicious for the kids.
