Holiday rum balls
4 servings
Ingredients
| Quantity | Ingredient | |
|---|---|---|
| 3½ | cup | Vanilla wafer crumbs |
| 1½ | cup | Confectioners sugar, divided |
| 1 | cup | Finely chopped peacans |
| ¼ | cup | Unsweetened cocoa |
| ⅓ | cup | Light or dark rum (I split this with Amaretto) |
| ⅓ | cup | Karo Light Corn Syrup |
| ⅓ | cup | Fine chopped Maraschino cherries |
Directions
Mix crumbs with 1 cup of the confectioners sugar, pecans and cocoa and cherries. Stir in rum and corn syrup.
(I like to use a fork at this point to help in stirring the mixture) Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll balls on remaining sugar. Store in tightly covered container.
Refrigerate. Makes about 4½ dozen.
The ladies really like this one since it isn't overpowering.
You're welcome in advance.....Ed Hint: Make them about a week before needed. Bring back to room temp.
before serving.
