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:
- Use high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Look for fresh, natural ingredients like real butter, pure vanilla extract, and high-quality cocoa powder.
- Chill the dough before rolling and baking. This will help the cookies hold their shape and prevent them from spreading too much.
- Bake the cookies until they are just set. Overbaking will make them dry and crumbly.
- Let the cookies cool completely before dipping them in the rum glaze. This will help the glaze set properly.
- Store the rum cookie balls in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
