Categories     Cookies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

250g oats (I use quick oats, but rolled oats work too, use what you have on hand)
150g butter, softened to room temperature
150g icing sugar
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1/2 cup rum (just use your favourite, Nana used light). See notes for other options.
Granulated sugar, sprinkles, etc. for rolling the finished balls in.

Steps:

  • Put the oats, butter, icing sugar, vanilla, cocoa powder, and rum into a medium bowl and mix until blended. You can do this with your hands if you want, but I used a hand mixer.
  • Roll into small balls. You can use an extra small cookie scoop if you have one to save some time.
  • Roll the balls into granulated sugar, sprinkles, or anything else you would like to finish them off.
  • Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve. They will keep in the fridge for two weeks, but you can also make them ahead and store in the freezer for up to 2 months!

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.
