Rum Balls
Description
Rum Balls blend crushed vanilla wafers and finely chopped walnuts with powdered sugar and cocoa powder to create a dry base. Mixing light corn syrup and rum forms a sticky binder that brings the ingredients together into a moldable dough. The mixture is shaped into roughly 1-inch balls and rolled in additional coatings—such as powdered sugar or cocoa powder—for a finished appearance and added texture.
These sweets do not require baking, making them accessible for quick preparation. The rum adds distinctive flavor and moistness, which contrasts with the crispness of the crushed wafers and the crunch of nuts. They are convenient to store in airtight containers and suitable for gifting or serving at gatherings.
