Rum coconut bites
Description
Perfect for a grown-up's night out Austrians love an irresistible speciality: a liquid heart of Caribbean rum, wrapped in melting chocolate and rolled in shredded coconut. These mouthfuls are inspired by and reminiscent of the famous Australian Lamingtons, but in a more intense and festive version - ideal for Christmas or an evening out with adults. They can be prepared in advance and kept for a long time.
