‘Tis the season for indulgence MasterFasters! And what’s more indulgent than rum balls? We’ve slimmed down this family fave, so you can enjoy a decadent dessert that is low in calories this Christmas.
Our tried and tested low-calorie rum balls recipe was handed down to Super Staffer Rosie from her grandmother. The simple recipe is full of easy-to-find ingredients and they taste ah-mazing! These rum balls are chocolatey and boozy: exactly what you would hope to find on the Christmas table. Although rich in flavour, these rum balls are super low in calories: only 73 calories per serve. You can switch out the rum for brandy if you so desire.
