directions

  • Mix all dry ingredients and set aside in big bowl.
  • Mix corn syrup, and rum together.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix well with a fork.
  • Let stand for 2 hours.
  • If you like your rum balls super"rummy" you can add 1/2 cup more at this point and let it sit again for 2 hours.
  • You can repeat the adding rum and waiting 2 hour step till it suits your taste.
  • There is a good midpoint where the mix is not too wet and not too dry.
  • Rolling the 1" balls should not be a sticky (too wet) or crumbly (too dry) task.
  • Roll into balls and then roll in powdered sugar to coat.
  • Store in sealed container.

  1. Ive been making these for years and take them one step further. I let them age and them dip them in melted Dove bar chocolate, half the recipe milk chocalte and the other half dark chocolate and oo la la are they ever yummy.
     
  2. Really good use of extra orange rum! A lot of effort to make, but very tasty. Great for parties!
     
  3. My sister has been making these very popular"cookies" for several years now, but using regular rum. Since Bacardi R (raspberry) was on hand, she used that instead of the orange. All of her co-workers who start confirming that she'll be making these again were apparently thrilled with this new version.

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an Aussie and moved to Southern California in 1991. I have a very sarcastic sense of humour and my talents lie in being intuitive, singing, and eating. I have traveled all over the world and have lived in many locations. I spent the most time in Melbourne Australia ), Singapore, Malaysia, Taiwan, Southern California, New York and Harrisburg PA. If you were to ask me what I love &/or miss about each place my first choice would ALWAYS be the food. My hobbies are acquiring lots of environmental, and medical allergies. <---- Joking but I am super sensitive and so I can be a big pain in the bum to cook for. I guess that is why I love to cook. I know exactly what is going into my mouth and not have to worry about keeping my epipen or inhaler in close reach.
