About This Recipe
"Every year my boyfriend and I bake for all our friends and family a whole selection of goodies. The ones with alcohol in them seem to be the favorites :) I wonder why?"
Ingredients
- 2 (16 ounce) boxes vanilla wafers, crushed
- 2 teaspoons cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped
- 1/2 cup Bacardi O rum ( Orange Flavored Rum)
- extra rum, to taste (optional)
- powdered sugar, for coating
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.

"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."
