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). These are best if you use Meyers Original Dark Rum® chilled, and Nabisco® ‘Nilla wafer cookies. They are at their peak if you make them 2 days in advance. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before serving.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla®)
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- ¼ cup light corn syrup
- ¾ cup dark rum (such as Meyer's®)
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting
Directions
Step 1
Place vanilla cookies in a food processor and process into fine crumbs.
Step 2
Heat chocolate chips and corn syrup together in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until chocolate is melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rum and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in cookie crumbs; dough will be sticky.
Step 3
Place saucepan in the refrigerator until dough is firm and easy to roll, about 15 minutes. Cover 2 plates with waxed paper; dust with confectioners' sugar.
Step 4
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared plates. Dust rum balls with confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
Step 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.
Recipe Tip
You will probably use more than 1 cup of confectioners' sugar for dusting — it won't affect the recipe one bit.
