Rum Balls Recipe
But, why is the rum gone? Because we made rum balls! A southern holiday tradition, rum balls are sweet, gooey, and chewy.
Ingredients:
1 (12 oz.) box Vanilla Wafers
1/3 Cup Cocoa
1 cup Ground Pecans
3/4 Cup Confectioners' Sugar
1/3 Cup Rum
1/3 Cup Light Corn Syrup
Sugar for rolling
Directions:
Let out all your frustrations, by starting with crushing the wafers with a rolling pin (place them in a large zipper bag first to avoid a mess). You’ll need to have 3 cups worth.
Mix the wafer crumbs with the cocoa, pecans, confectioners’ sugar, rum, and corn syrup in a large bowl.
Form the dough into a large ball, and refrigerate. When the dough is firm, pull off walnut-sized pieces, and form them into balls, roll them in more powdered sugar.
And Enjoy!
Yield: 3 to 4 dozen rum balls
