How to Make Rum Balls
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the wafer crumbs, pecans, confectioners sugar and cocoa (yes 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons. I don't know why the extra but it makes a BIG difference.)
- Mix the rum, the honey, and water; stir into dry mixture. Mixture should be moist enough to form balls.
- Shape into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll in extra confectioners sugar or extra wafer crumbs.
- Store in airtight container. The longer they set, the better (and STRONGER) they get.
You can also cover them in your favorite chocolate covering. If you prefer a nonalcoholic recipe, substitute the rum with orange concentrate and a splash of rum extract.
