RUM BALLS
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.

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.

RUM BALLS
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.
