Rum Balls are sweet, a bit boozy, and a delicious Christmastime treat. They are so easy to make and don't need any baking! Just a few minutes of active work makes this delicious and tasty Holiday treat.
Ingredients
- 1 12 oz container of Vanilla Wafers, finely crushed
- 1/2 cup walnuts, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp light corn syrup
- 2 tbsp dark molasses
- 1/4 cup dark rum
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 2 tbsp butter melted, but not hot
- 1 cup powdered sugar + 1/2 cup powdered sugar for rolling
- 1 tablespoon Unsweetened Cocoa for rolling
Instructions
-
In food processor, process wafers to a fine crumble
-
Combine all ingredients MINUS 1/2 cup powdered sugar and cocoa.
- Set aside in the refrigerator for 1-4 hours.
-
Once time has passed, roll into about 12 even small balls. They should approximately be about 1 1/2 ounces.
-
In small dish mix 1/2 cup powdered sugar and cocoa
-
Roll each of the balls in the sugar/cocoa mixture and set in container
-
Place in a container and cover. Allow resting for at 8 hours before serving. I prefer this rest in the refrigerator, but can be left out.
-
Serve
Notes
- Store your rum ball batter in the fridge for at least one hourbefore forming. Your balls will form better.
- If you don’t like nuts, don’t use them!
- Consider using different powders for the coating.
- These do not need to be stored in the refrigerator, but I prefer them refridgerated.
