Bundy Bites Tom's Tip Bundy Bites are otherwise known as Rum Balls; they have a nice drop of rum in them, but if you prefer you can replace the rum with orange juice. They are a good way of using up any stale chocolate cake or if your cooking has been a failure! We have been making these for years and are very popular. They are a nice bite size treat, when you just have to have something sweet. They also freeze well, so you can have them on hand when you get that unexpected visitor.
