Okay, somebody I was JUST reading the other day had a recipe for rum balls. And I didn’t write it / print it / cut & paste it and now can’t remember who it was.
Anybody know? Or anybody have a good recipe? I hate my brain sometimes, so unreliable.
Google is my friend, again. Found at GSSV:
Rum Balls
3 1/4 cups crushed vanilla wafers
3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups very finely chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup rumStir together the crushed vanilla wafers, 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar, nuts and cocoa. Slowly blend in the corn syrup and rum.
Shape into 1 inch balls, and then roll them around in some more confectioners’ sugar. It makes about 48 balls.
Store in an airtight container for a couple of days to develop the flavor.
Side note: Rum balls will keep for months, people. Seriously. Months. Except that they taste really good, so no one’s rum balls ever last for months. Ah, well.
Now maybe I have a little weekend project 🙂
