Time P7DT12m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
½ cup white sugar
3 tablespoons corn syrup
½ cup rum
2 ½ cups crushed vanilla wafers
1 cup chopped walnuts
⅓ cup confectioners' sugar

Steps:

  • Place chocolate chips into a microwave-safe medium bowl. Heat in the microwave for 1 minute, stir and then continue to heat at 20 second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth. Stir in sugar and corn syrup. Blend in rum. Add crushed vanilla wafers and chopped nuts. Mix until evenly distributed. Cover and refrigerate until firm.
  • Roll the chilled chocolate mixture into bite-size balls. Roll balls in a mixture of ground nuts and confectioner's sugar, or just plain confectioner's sugar. Store in a covered container for a week before serving to blend the flavors.

These rum balls are a great way to use up leftover cake. I usually make them with chocolate cake, but you could use any flavor you like. I also like to add a little bit of orange zest to the batter. It gives the rum balls a nice citrus flavor.

I made these rum balls for my husband's birthday and he loved them! He said they were the best rum balls he's ever had. I'm so glad I found this recipe.

These rum balls are dangerous! They're so good that it's hard to stop eating them. I ate three in a row and I could have easily eaten more. I'm going to have to hide these from myself.

I was a bit skeptical about making these rum balls because I'm not a big fan of rum. But I was pleasantly surprised! The rum flavor is very subtle and it's perfectly complemented by the chocolate. These rum balls are now one of my favorite treats.

I've made these rum balls several times and they always turn out great. They're so rich and decadent. I love that they're not too sweet. I usually roll them in chopped nuts, but you could also use sprinkles or coconut.
