Our family loves this treat. It's definitely an adult treat, but you can also make it kid friendly.
Ingredients
- 2 1/2 c
- crushed vanilla wafers (about 75 wafers)
- 1 c
- ground pecans
- 1 c
- confectioners' sugar
- 2 Tbsp
- cocoa powder
- 2 tsp
- cocoa powder
- 1/4 c
- dark rum
- 3 Tbsp
- honey
- 2 Tbsp
- water
- extra
- crushed wafers and confectioners sugar
How to Make Rum Balls
- 1In 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.)
- 2Mix the rum, the honey, and water; stir into dry mixture. Mixture should be moist enough to form balls.
- 3Shape into balls the size of small walnuts. Roll in extra confectioners sugar or extra wafer crumbs.
- 4Store 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.
