RUM BALLS



Rum Balls image

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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (12 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla®)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup light corn syrup
¾ cup dark rum (such as Meyer's®)
1 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting

Steps:

  • Place 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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: The better the quality of your ingredients, the better your rum buns will be. Use fresh fruit, real butter, and high-quality rum.
  • Don't overmix the dough: Overmixing the dough will make the buns tough. Mix just until the ingredients are combined.
  • Let the dough rise in a warm place: This will help the dough to double in size and become light and airy.
  • Bake the buns until they are golden brown: This will ensure that the buns are cooked through.
  • Brush the buns with melted butter while they are still warm: This will help to keep the buns moist and flavorful.
  • Enjoy the buns warm or at room temperature: Rum buns are best enjoyed fresh, but they can also be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Rum buns are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With a few simple ingredients and a little time, you can enjoy these classic pastries in your own home. So next time you're looking for a sweet treat, give rum buns a try. You won't be disappointed!
