Recipe Summary Rum Balls
I wanted a good rum ball with a lot of kick, so I sat down and came up with this recipe. I didn't realize how good these were until one year I didn't make them for work. I just about got lynched! Needless to say, I've made them every year since (about 20 years). These are best if you use Meyers Original Dark Rum® chilled, and Nabisco® 'Nilla wafer cookies. They are at their peak if you make them 2 days in advance. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before serving.Ingredients | Rum Balls Recipe Taste1 (12 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla®)1 cup semisweet chocolate chips¼ cup light corn syrup¾ cup dark rum (such as Meyer's®)1 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dustingDirectionsPlace vanilla cookies in a food processor and process into fine crumbs.Heat chocolate chips and corn syrup together in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until chocolate is melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rum and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in cookie crumbs; dough will be sticky.Place saucepan in the refrigerator until dough is firm and easy to roll, about 15 minutes. Cover 2 plates with waxed paper; dust with confectioners' sugar.Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared plates. Dust rum balls with confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.Remove rum balls from refrigerator and transfer to a resealable bag, including the extra confectioners' sugar. Seal the bag and shake to coat the rum balls completely with confectioners' sugar.You will find that you will probably use more than just a cup of confectioners' sugar...you won't hurt the recipe one bit.Info | Rum Balls Recipe Tasteprep: 20 mins cook: 5 mins additional: 45 mins total: 1 hr 10 mins Servings: 24 Yield: 2 dozen rum balls
