"Quick and delicious Rum Balls recipe (with or without rum!). These tasty treats whip up in no time, and are completely addictive. Whether you need a chocolate fix or a quick gift, these are sure to please...."
INGREDIENTS
•
1 1/4 cups (120 grams) vanilla wafer cookies, shortbread, or graham crackers (about 35 Nilla brand wafers)
•
1/2 cup (55 grams) powdered (confectioners) sugar
•
2 tablespoons (12 grams) cocoa powder (Dutch processed or regular unsweetened cocoa powder)
•
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
•
1/4 cup (60 ml) COLD* liquid: juice; rum; water + rum extract (or your favorite); or whatever else you can imagine -- I did one batch with OJ and one with rum
•
1 1/2 cups (140 grams) pecans (hazelnuts, walnuts, or almonds can be used - and toasting them beforehand makes them awesome! but will probably result in longer than 5 minutes)
•
1/2 cup (55 grams) topping - crushed nuts, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, flaked coconut, go crazy
•
Makes about 2 dozen decent-sized chocolate balls.
