Chocolate truffles

• 6 oz (175 g) icing sugar
• 1 oz (25

Sift the icing sugar and cocoa powder for the truffles into a mixing bowl. Put the golden syrup (measure with a tablespoon dipped in boiling water so excess syrup runs off and you get an accurate measure), milk, rum and butter into a saucepan and stir over low heat until blended, then bring to the boil and pour at once into the sifted mixture. Beat with a wooden spoon until soft and smooth. Lea
