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.

Tips:
- For the best flavor, use a good quality rum. A dark rum will give the cookies a richer flavor, while a light rum will give them a more delicate flavor.
- Be sure to chill the cookie dough for at least 30 minutes before shaping. This will help the cookies hold their shape better.
- If the cookie dough is too sticky to handle, add a little more flour. If the cookie dough is too dry, add a little more milk.
- You can use any kind of sprinkles you like to decorate the cookies. I used red and green sprinkles for a Christmas theme.
- Store the cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
Conclusion:
These rum cookie balls are a delicious and festive treat that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be customized to your liking. So next time you are looking for a sweet treat, give these rum cookie balls a try.
