Yield 30 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 (16 ounce) boxes vanilla wafers, crushed
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup Bacardi O rum (Orange Flavored Rum)
extra rum, to taste (optional)
powdered sugar, for coating

Steps:

  • Mix all dry ingredients and set aside in big bowl.
  • Mix corn syrup, and rum together.
  • Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix well with a fork.
  • Let stand for 2 hours.
  • If you like your rum balls super"rummy" you can add 1/2 cup more at this point and let it sit again for 2 hours.
  • You can repeat the adding rum and waiting 2 hour step till it suits your taste.
  • There is a good midpoint where the mix is not too wet and not too dry.
  • Rolling the 1" balls should not be a sticky (too wet) or crumbly (too dry) task.
  • Roll into balls and then roll in powdered sugar to coat.
  • Store in sealed container.
