Ingredients

1 (12 ounce) package vanilla wafers, crushed

1-1/2 cups chopped walnuts or pecans

Note: I prefer to use finely ground almonds

3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

1/4 cup cocoa

1/2 cup light or dark rum, it depends on the taste you are looking for.

Note: For those individuals who do not imbibe in alcohol, 1/2 orange juiced plus one teaspoon of freshly grated orange peel can be substituted for the rum in this recipe.

3 Tablespoons light corn syrup

1/8 cup confectioners' sugar

Note: Sometimes I like to dip these in melted chocolate and place on a wire rack until chocolate coating has hardened.

Directions

In a large bowl, combine vanilla wafer crumbs, chopped nuts/finely ground nuts, 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, and cocoa.

Mix in rum and corn syrup.

I like to cover the bowl and allow to sit in the fridge for at least 1/2 to 1 hour.

Then I use the larger end of a melon baller to scoop out mixture.

Roll dough into 1 inch balls.

Roll in confectioners' sugar or a mixture of confectioners' sugar and cocoa.

Store rum balls in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days to merge or meld flavour.

Roll them again in confectioners' sugar before serving.

Really like this recipe. It seems so easy and tasty... I have already bought 2 pounds ground almonds for Christmas baking, so I think I will follow your suggestion and use it instead of walnuts. I will also try some dipped in melted chocolate for chocoholics. Thanks and !!Feliz Navidad¡¡
