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
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.

Tips:

- If you don't have any rum on hand, you can substitute another type of alcohol, such as whiskey, brandy, or bourbon.
