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).

Ingredients

  • vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla): 1 box (12 ounce box)
  • semisweet chocolate chips: 1 cup
  • light corn syrup: 0.25 cup
  • dark rum (such as Meyer's): 0.75 cup
  • confectioners' sugar: 1 cup (plus more for dusting)

  5. Remove rum balls from refrigerator and transfer to a resealable bag, including the extra confectioners' sugar. Seal the bag and shake to coat the rum balls completely with confectioners' sugar.
