Rumballs

From Robin: “The best part of rumballs is the conversations they prompt. Complete with a 1⁄4 cup of rum, if you let them sit for a week, the conversations become even more spirited!”

Ingredients

• 1 1⁄2 tbsp corn syrup or honey

• 1⁄4 cup rum

• 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers

• 2 tbsp cocoa powder

• 1 cup powdered sugar

• 1⁄8 tsp salt

• 1 cup chopped nuts walnuts

Directions

1. Combine sweetener and rum into a liquid mixture.

2. Combine crushed wafers, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, salt, and chopped nuts. Add liquid mixture a little bit at a time, just until the mixture holds together.

3. Roll the mixture into balls, then roll in sugar.

Note: these taste better the longer they sit. They ripen as they age. A minimum of 12 hours is recommended.
