The holiday season brings with it a multitude of scents and flavors, and one treat that encapsulates the essence of Christmas is our delightful creation – the Rum-Infused Nutty Chocolate Cups. Picture a small decorative paper cup cradling a mixture of nuts and rum-soaked fruits, all encased in a decadent layer of melted chocolate. These Christmas Bliss Cups are a European-inspired dessert that promises to melt in your mouth and transport you to a world of festive joy.

Brief Overview

The magic begins with a paper cup, carefully filled with a mixture of sugar, finely grounded nuts, and rum-soaked dehydrated fruits—think plump raisins and cherries soaked in rum overnight. The filling is placed in the center of the paper cup, only to be lovingly enveloped by a rich cloak of melted chocolate. Sometimes, these festive delights are crowned with a walnut half, adding a touch of elegance to their already charming appearance.
