Tips:

To make the rum balls even richer and more decadent, use a dark or spiced rum instead of light rum.
If you don't have any rum on hand, you can substitute brandy, whiskey, or even coffee liqueur.
If the mixture is too dry to form balls, add a little more rum or milk until it reaches the desired consistency.
If the mixture is too wet, add a little more crushed cookies or cocoa powder until it holds together.
Be sure to chill the rum balls for at least 30 minutes before serving, this will help them firm up and make them easier to handle.
The rum balls can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
To make the Mocha Rum Balls extra special, try dipping them in melted chocolate or white chocolate before rolling them in cocoa powder.
