Steps:
- 1. In a food processor or electric chopper, blend up Vanilla Wafers until it reaches a mealy consistency. In a bowl mix together the crushed Vanilla wafers, the cocoa powder, corn syrup and rum.
- 2. You should have a nice, firm, slightly sticky dough. If the dough is too dry and won't form add a tiny bit more corn syrup, or if too moist & sticky and are hard to form, add a little more crushed vanilla wafers. Roll the dough into walnut sized balls and then roll in the coconut flakes until coated.
- 3. This makes about 2 dozen balls.Cover and refrigerate until serving. The longer they sit the stronger they get!
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.

Tips:
- Use a good quality rum. The flavor of the rum will come through in the final product, so it's important to use a rum that you enjoy drinking.
- Don't overmix the dough. Overmixing will make the dough tough.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it. This will make the dough easier to work with and will help the balls hold their shape.
- If the dough is too sticky, add more powdered sugar. If the dough is too dry, add more rum or milk.
- Be careful not to overcook the rum balls. They should be cooked just until they are set.
- Store the rum balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
