You Can'T Eat Just One Rum Balls
- 21/2 cups (1 box) vanilla wafers (I use Whole Foods' organic ones)
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar + more for rolling the balls in
- 1 cup walnuts, very finely chopped
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup light (not white!) rum
- Using a ziploc and meat pounder, a food processor, or the like, crush the vanilla wafers well and place in a large mixing bowl. To them add the chopped walnuts and 1/2 c powdered sugar. Set aside.
- Melt chocolate in a double boiler, remove from heat, and add corn syrup and rum. Pour mixture into dry ingredients and stir until thick dough forms (don't add any more liquid).
- Roll dough into 3/4 - 1 inch balls between powdered palms. Drop balls into small bowl of powdered sugar and roll around until fully coated. Line a container with wax paper and lay the rum balls inside (they can touch each other).rnCover and set them aside for a couple of days so that flavors will marry.
