- Break the chocolate up in a food processor so that it resembles sugar.
- Heat the cream, butter and rum in a pan until it reaches a gently simmer. Carefully blend in chocolate until well mixed; stir in yogurt. Stir well to combine.
- Cool the mixture or freeze to use later. Once it's cool enough to handle and has firmed up a little, break off a little of the mixture at a time and roll into small balls using your hands; dust with cocoa powder and roll in chopped nuts. Refrigerate until set.
