EASY RUM BALLS

LOL! Since this is a no bake recipe the rum balls are quite potent, and one surely needs a designated driver to eat them. Its been so long since I made them that I can't remember how many the recipe makes. Of course that may be a result of family and friends eating them as fast as they are made. When posting the recipe it made me post a number for the yield, hence the 24.
