RUM BALLS



Rum Balls image

I wanted a good rum ball with a lot of kick, so I sat down and came up with this recipe. I didn't realize how good these were until one year I didn't make them for work. I just about got lynched! Needless to say, I've made them every year since (about 20 years). These are best if you use Meyers Original Dark Rum® chilled, and Nabisco® 'Nilla wafer cookies. They are at their peak if you make them 2 days in advance. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before serving.

Tips:

  • Crushed Cookies: Use a food processor to get finely crushed cookies. This will help the rum balls bind together better and give them a smoother texture.
  • Rum: Use a good quality dark rum for the best flavor. You can also use light rum or a flavored rum, such as vanilla or coconut, if you prefer.
  • Condensed Milk: Sweetened condensed milk helps to bind the rum balls together and gives them a creamy texture. Make sure to use full-fat condensed milk for the best results.
  • Chopped Nuts: Adding chopped nuts, such as walnuts, pecans, or almonds, adds a nice crunch and nutty flavor to the rum balls. You can also use chopped dried fruit, such as raisins or cranberries, if you prefer.
  • Coating: You can coat the rum balls in a variety of things, such as cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or chopped nuts. Get creative and experiment with different coatings to find your favorite.
  • Chilling: Chilling the rum balls for at least 30 minutes before coating them helps them to set and makes them easier to handle.
