These are amazing! I love rum balls, but I have never made them, so I had no idea what goes into them. I had to add a little more cookie crumbs to make it a good consistency, and I rolled them in powdered sugar instead of walnuts (personal preference), and they were amazing! I had a hard time keeping my paws off them, since I had made them for gifts! I need to make another batch soon.

let me just say this, THANK YOU!! This recipe can be used in so many different ways, I love it. I did get a little tipsy making them though, sampleing the alchol for quality. i made over 400 of these little balls, and what a hit. I used Bailey's in place of rum in one batch, mint schnapps in another, and my favorite yet, coconut rum on the last. The Coconut rum ones i rolled in flaked coconut instead of the nuts and they were awesome. They were the hit at our company christmas party. Thanks again for the recipe.
