Rum Balls
- 2 ½ cup vanilla wafers, crushed
- 2 tablespoons cocoa
- 3 tablespoons dark corn syrup
- 1 cup icing sugar
- 1 cup finely chopped nuts (I usually use walnuts)
- ¼ cup rum (I use dark Meyer’s rum or any dark rum)
Mix all this together, form into balls and roll in chocolate pieces - next time I do this I am going to use crazy glue to keep the chocolate pieces on! (Update: 2006 – I was listening to the radio the other day and someone has the same recipe but they use toasted pecans, chopped)
