Ingredients For rum balls

  • 1 box
    vanilla wafers
  • 1 1/2 c
    roasted almonds
  • 3/4 c

How To Make rum balls

  • 1
    Using a food processor crush cookies and nuts until finely ground. Move contents to a medium bowl. Stir in powdered sugar and cocoa until well mixed.
  • 2
    Add the rum and the corn syrup a little at a time alternating between the two. You want just enough for everything to pull into a dough that you can roll into balls.
  • 3
    Roll into one inch balls and then roll the mixture through sprinkles, powdered sugar, or cocoa. Store in an airtight container in the fridge.
