Rum balls are easy to make and delicious. The confection is a sort of truffle, and makes a great dessert along side fruits and other items. They are welcome holiday gifts, as well.
Make the rum balls a few days in advance to allow the flavor to develop. Pack them in cheerful boxes or tins to give as gifts, or in an airtight container to keep them fresh. Everyone will love them.
Ultimate Rum Balls
2 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
2 tablespoons cocoa
3 tablespoons white corn syrup
1 cup confectioners' sugar
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup rum
Confectioners' sugar
Combine the vanilla wafer crumbs, cocoa, corn syrup and the 1 cup confectioners' sugar; mix well. Add nuts and rum and mix again. Shape into balls and roll in confectioners sugar. Refrigerate 2 to 3 days to develop the flavors.
If you don't like rum, you may substitute 1/2 cup orange juice and 1 teaspoon grated orange rind.

I love your recipe. I've also made rum balls with gingersnap cookies instead of nilla wafers, interesting change, but not for everyone...I've even used cornflakes, and eaten them right out of the cuisinart....again not for everyone....lol
I have also used gingersnaps and they are brilliant in this recipe with the rum. It is a wonderful substitution for the nilla wafers!
