Beer bread truffles recipe

This delicious snack is a mix between beer bread and truffles (or rum balls, as it is called elsewhere in the country). Like beer bread, these truffles are a great way to use up leftovers from old, semi-boring rye bread. There's no reason to throw away your dry bread when you can make amazing, juicy truffles instead. Don't think that beer bread truffles taste like a boring rye bread snack. On the contrary, they are incredibly delicious, sweet and juicy. The perfect healthier snack for a cup of coffee - and kids love them too! 

TIP: If you have leftover rye bread but don't have time to make truffles, you can put the leftover rye bread in the freezer. Simply let it thaw on the kitchen counter, and then you can use it to make truffles another day. 

Rum balls with rye bread and dates

Traditionally, rum balls are made from cake leftovers. But in this recipe for beer bread truffles, the cake is replaced with rye bread, which both makes the recipe healthier and gives a nice sour taste. In addition, they are sweetened with dates (so-called "juicy dates"), which add fiber and minerals, and which also help to give a juicy consistency. This way, the rum balls can be made without too much butter - here it is added mostly to give a nice taste, and so that the balls can be refrigerated.
