Can anyone give me a good recipe for rum balls?

Question

The ones I remember have a white creamy filling , tasting like rum...rolled into balls dipped in milk chocolate.
The recipes I have seen online have vanilla wafers in them.... that doesn't sound right. But I may be wrong.
Thank you

Answer 2

This is the one I love to make . Rum Balls 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate 3 tbsp light corn syrup 1/2 cup rum 2 1/2 cups crushed wafers (about one 10-ounce box) 1 cup powdered sugar, divided 1 cup finely chopped nuts Place the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until melted, stirring after every 45 seconds to prevent overheating. Once the chocolate is melted, add the corn syrup and rum and stir until well-combined. Stir in the wafer crumbs, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and chopped nuts. Place the mixture in the refrigerator until it is firm enough to shape, about 1 hour. Using a teaspoon, roll the candy into small balls between your palms. Place the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl, and roll the balls in the sugar. (Alternately, the balls can be rolled in chopped nuts or cocoa powder). Place the rum balls in an airtight container and refrigerate them to age them for several days. Rum balls can be stored for an additional 2-3 weeks, and many people feel they are better the longer they are aged, so they are a great make-ahead treat. Store the balls in the refrigerator, and let them come to room temperature before serving.

Answer 7

Go to http://www.allrecipes.com and search for "Rum Balls" or "cocoa rum balls". There is one I think called "Cocoa balls II" that is the best and most potent of the batch!

Good Luck!
