Grind the sponge fingers or finely grind them in a food processor. Mix the jam with the rum and butter in a bowl. Stir in the sponge crumbs. Place a metal bowl in a bain-marie. Chop 60g of chocolate and melt it. Stir the melted chocolate into the sponge mixture. Shape the dough into a log about 2cm in diameter and cut into about 50 equal-sized pieces. Shape each piece into a ball. Place the chocolate sprinkles on a plate. Melt the remaining chocolate in the bain-marie.
