Re-Post of Not So Secret Rum Ball Recipe
My Secret Rum Ball Recipe(First published on Dec. 15, 2011 at my previous blog The Desert Rocks)Easy Holiday Rum BallsThese make a perfect hostess gift and will be remembered long after the sugar cookies, date nut bread, even the fudge has been scarfed down and forgotten. I’ve made them for years and often hear people on wobbly legs, leaving with their designated driver saying things like,“Who made those rum balls? I have to get the recipe.”
Five years have passed and I figured you might want to try these again. After all, it's been a tough year and rum might help numb some of the pain or anxiety but please don't use rum balls as a gateway to the harder stuff like Bourbon Truffles or Brandy eggnog cocktails. Try the rum balls and always use caution when operating machinery.
1 cup powdered sugar3 cups crushed vanilla wafers (The best part of this recipe is thatyou can use up older cookies or cakes instead of the vanilla wafers) Typically, I use graham crackers but one year I used Leftover chocolate cake and oh my goodness they were fantabulous! 1 cup finely chopped walnuts3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa3 tablespoons Karo syrup½ cup Bacardi rum and three secret drops of German rum flavoring because regular rum evaporates rather quickly. The rum flavoring I mention is more potent and delicious than the stuff in our local grocery stores. The Dr. Oetker Rum flavor will take your rum balls to a whole new level. It is available in most European delicatessens.
Chocolate sprinkles for decorating
Powdered sugar for decoratingAnyway, add ingredients to your bowl one at a time, stirring between each addition. Size-wise I roll them into one inch round balls.Then roll half of the rum balls in powdered sugar and the other half of the balls in thechocolate sprinkles. Set them on wax paper and try one. I said one. Then, refrigerate them before you place them into cute little gift boxes or onto serving trays.Super easy and fun too! Have you ever made these?
