Steps:
- Set up a work station with a large ziplock bag and rolling pin (or a food processor); a large bowl for mixing; and a shallow bowl with 3/4 cup of coconut for rolling in.
- Place the cookies in ziplock bag, seal and crush with the rolling pin. Alternatively, crush in the food processor until fine crumbs form. It's ok if there are some slightly larger pieces.
- Add the crushed cookies, coconut, cocoa powder, condensed milk, rum and vanilla to the large bowl. Mix the ingredients well using a wooden spoon, then your hands once it gets too thick. (If mixture is too thick, mix in 1-2 tablespoons milk).
- Scoop out a tablespoonful of mixture and roll into a 1 - 1 1/2 inch ball, then roll in coconut until completely covered. Place on a baking sheet or tray and repeat until all the mixture has been rolled into balls.
- Refrigerate until ready to serve.

CHOCOLATE RUM BALLS
This has been an old-time family favorite recipe for many years. I have made these with not only regular rum but coconut flavored rum, bourbon, brandy, amaretto, kahlua...etc. I generally use walnuts but pecans, macadamia or almonds are also good. These are best if they sit a few days in a tightly covered container before eating. They also freeze well. Cooling time is not included in the PREP/COOKING time. Please allow 30 minutes to cool before rolling cookies into balls. FOR ADULTS ONLY, so please make sure you keep these away from the little ones.

Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A good quality semisweet or bittersweet chocolate will work well.
- Make sure the coconut is finely shredded. This will help it adhere to the chocolate balls.
- Chill the chocolate balls before rolling them in the coconut. This will help the chocolate set and make them easier to handle.
- If you don't have any rum on hand, you can substitute another type of liqueur, such as Kahlua or Grand Marnier.
- These chocolate rum balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
