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.

Steps:
- Mix thoroughly and form into small balls.
- Roll in powdered sugar and verious coatings and wrap in wax paper.
- The rum balls can be rolled in a variety of coatings, i.e sliced almonds, chocolate sprinkles, or coconut.
Tips:
- Use high-quality rum for the best flavor. A dark rum will give the balls a richer flavor, while a light rum will produce a more subtle taste.
- Don't overwork the dough. The more you work it, the tougher the balls will be.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it into balls. This will help the balls hold their shape.
- If the dough is too sticky, add a little more powdered sugar.
- Roll the balls in chopped nuts, chocolate sprinkles, or coconut flakes before serving.
- Store the balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
