Ingredients:

  • 1 (12 oz) package vanilla wafers, crushed
  • 1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans
  • note: i prefer to use finely ground almonds
  • 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
  • 1/4 cup cocoa
  • 1/2 cup light or dark rum , it depends on the taste you are looking for.
  • note: for those individuals who do not imbibe in alcohol, 1/2 orange juiced plus one teaspoon of freshly grated orange peel can be substituted for the rum in this recipe.
  • 1/8 cup confectioners' sugar
  • note: sometimes i like to dip these in melted chocolate and place on a wire rack until chocolate coating has hardened.

Directions:

  1. In a large bowl, combine vanilla wafer crumbs, chopped nuts/finely ground nuts, 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, and cocoa.
  2. Mix in rum and corn syrup.
  3. I like to cover the bowl and allow to sit in the fridge for at least 1/2 to 1 hour.
  4. Then I use the larger end of a melon baller to scoop out mixture.
  5. Roll dough into 1 inch balls.
  6. Roll in confectioners' sugar or a mixture of confectioners' sugar and cocoa.
  7. Store rum balls in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days to merge or meld flavour.
  8. Roll them again in confectioners' sugar before serving.
