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.

1 (12 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla®)

¼ cup light corn syrup

  • Roll the dough into small balls. About 1-inch in diameter.
  • Coat the rum balls in a variety of toppings. You can use chopped nuts, sprinkles, or chocolate chips.
  • Store the rum balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They will keep for up to 2 weeks.
