Method

Put the butter and chocolate into a saucepan and heat gently, stirring until melted.
Add ½ cup of the icing sugar and stir until the mixture is thick, then add the rum and cocoa. Add enough of the remaining icing sugar to form a stiff mixture.
Scoop out tablespoonful of the mixture and shape into balls, then roll in the coconut or chocolate hail and chill until firm.
