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.

Time 1h10m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (12 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla®)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup light corn syrup
¾ cup dark rum (such as Meyer's®)
1 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting

Steps:

  • Place vanilla cookies in a food processor and process into fine crumbs.
  • Heat chocolate chips and corn syrup together in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until chocolate is melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rum and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in cookie crumbs; dough will be sticky.
  • Place saucepan in the refrigerator until dough is firm and easy to roll, about 15 minutes. Cover 2 plates with waxed paper; dust with confectioners' sugar.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared plates. Dust rum balls with confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove rum balls from refrigerator and transfer to a resealable bag, including the extra confectioners' sugar. Seal the bag and shake to coat the rum balls completely with confectioners' sugar.

RUM BALLS

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 44m

Yield 40 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 cups finely ground cake crumbs from a leftover cake
2 tablespoons cocoa powder, optional
1 cup powdered sugar, sifted, plus extra for rolling
1 cup finely chopped pecans or walnuts
2 to 4 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup dark rum
4 ounces semisweet chocolate, melted, optional

Steps:

  • In a mixing bowl fitted with the paddle attachment, or by hand, mix together the cake crumbs, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and nuts. Stir in the 2 tablespoons of honey and the rum. Using your hands, try to form the mixture into a ball. If the mixture won't hold together add a little more honey. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls, then roll them in powdered sugar or melted chocolate, and let them set up. Then, let them age or ripen 24 hours.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate. The chocolate you use will have a big impact on the flavor of your rum balls, so it's important to choose a good one. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and that has a rich, smooth flavor.
  • Use a good quality rum. Again, the quality of the rum you use will affect the flavor of your rum balls. Choose a rum that is at least 80 proof and that has a good, strong flavor.
  • Don't skimp on the butter. Butter adds richness and creaminess to rum balls, so don't be afraid to use a generous amount. Use unsalted butter so that you can control the amount of salt in the recipe.
  • Chill the rum balls before you coat them in chocolate. This will help the chocolate to set more quickly and evenly.
  • Be patient when you're coating the rum balls in chocolate. It takes a little time to get them all coated evenly, so don't rush it. If you're having trouble, you can use a fork to help you coat the rum balls.

Conclusion:

Rum balls are a delicious and easy-to-make holiday treat. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of rum balls that will be sure to please everyone on your list. So next time you're looking for a festive and delicious treat, give rum balls a try.
