Ingredients

250 g	gingerbread
50 ml	orange juice
150 g	chocolate, melted
50 g	butter, melted
1 tbsp	rum
	For decoration / coating:
	chocolate or cacao, grated

Instructions

Chop the gingerbread very fine using a blender.

Melt the chopped chocolate and the butter using a microwave for about 3-5 minutes at a low setting and stirring in each every 30 seconds. Stir the chocolate until it is smooth, shiny, and completely melted. Other methods to melt both ingredients can also be used. Melt both ingredients in separate bowls and then combine after they have been melted.

Add the melted butter, rum, orange juice, and the gingerbread, mix well.

Refrigerate for one hour, then make small balls (about 20 g) and roll them in your favourite coating the pralines (grated chocolate, cacao, etc).

Tips:
– Use old gingerbread as it is the best for this recipe. It can be finely chopped very easily and then you get very fine pralines.

– You can also use gingerbread leftovers from a gingerbread house.

– You can replace the butter with 2 tablespoons of sour cream and reduce the orange juce in order to get the right consistency.
