  • Preheat oven to 325°F.
  • Beat together the Crisco, confectioner's sugar, milk and rum extract until creamy.
  • In another bowl, combine the flour, oats and pecans.
  • Add this dry mixture to the other creamed mixture and mix it well.
  • Shape dough into balls by the teaspoonful and place on an ungreased cookie sheet.
  • Bake in the preheated 325°F oven for 15-18 minute.
  • While still warm from the oven, roll them in confectioner's sugar; then finish cooling on a wire rack.
  • When completely cool, roll in the confectioner's sugar again.
  • Store in an airtight container.
  • Variation: Turn this into a new recipe by swapping out the pecans for walnuts to create Rum Walnut Balls instead.
