In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed digestive biscuits, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Mix well to evenly distribute the dry ingredients.
Add the melted and cooled dark chocolate, softened butter, dark rum, and vanilla extract to the dry mixture.
Using a spatula or your hands, mix the ingredients thoroughly until a sticky dough forms. Ensure all the dry ingredients are well incorporated.
Take small portions of the mixture (approximately 1 tablespoon) and roll them into smooth balls using your palms.
Place your choice of coating (sprinkles, shredded coconut, or additional cocoa powder) on a plate or shallow bowl. Roll each rum ball in the coating until fully covered.
Arrange the coated rum balls on a parchment-lined tray or plate. Once all balls are coated, refrigerate them for at least 2 hours to firm up.
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
