Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
  • 1 cup powdered sugar, plus extra for rolling
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
  • 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup dark rum
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Instructions

  1. Combine crushed vanilla wafers, powdered sugar, chopped nuts, and cocoa powder in a medium bowl. Mix well.
  2. In a separate small bowl, stir together the dark rum, corn syrup, and vanilla extract.
  3. Pour the wet ingredients into the dry ingredients. Stir until a thick, uniform dough forms.
  4. Roll the mixture into small, 1-inch balls.
  5. Roll each ball in extra powdered sugar until fully coated.
  6. Place the finished rum balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  7. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.

Notes

  • Store leftover rum balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to two weeks.
  • If the mixture seems too dry, add rum one teaspoon at a time until it holds together.
  • For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the rum with strong brewed coffee or milk.
  • Use high-quality dark rum for the best flavor.
