Rum Balls
Rum balls are no-bake confections combining crushed vanilla wafers, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, chopped walnuts, corn syrup, and rum. The mixture is shaped into small balls, then rolled in coatings like powdered sugar or cocoa to complete. These bite-sized treats offer a sweet, chocolaty, and nutty flavor with the warmth of rum, typically served as finger desserts during holidays.
