Add rum, a little at a time, just until moistened and it forms a soft pliable dough. Turn out dough onto work surface lightly dusted with confectioners' sugar. Dust your hands lightly with confectioners' sugar, pull off walnut-sized pieces and roll them between your palms to form compact balls. Roll again in confectioner's sugar to coat.
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.

- Use Fresh Ingredients: Use fresh ingredients whenever possible, especially the butter and cream cheese. This will ensure the best texture and flavor.
- Chill the Dough: Chilling the dough before rolling it helps prevent the rum balls from crumbling and makes them easier to handle.
- Use a Cookie Scoop: A cookie scoop is a great tool for portioning the dough and ensuring even-sized rum balls.
- Roll the Rum Balls in Nuts: Rolling the rum balls in chopped nuts adds a nice crunch and flavor. You can use a variety of nuts such as pecans, walnuts, or almonds.
- Chill the Rum Balls Before Serving: Chilling the rum balls before serving helps them set and firm up, resulting in a better texture.
