Name: Christmas Rum Balls(Or Bourbon Balls)
Prep time: 20 min
Total time: 20 min
Ingredients: 2 1/2 cups vanilla wafers, crushed (a 250g box of Christies vanilla wafers equals 2 1/2 cups); 2 tablespoons cocoa; 1 1/4 cups icing sugar; 1/2 cup spiced rum (the rum is called Spiced Rum) or 1/2 cup Bourbon; 2 tablespoons white corn syrup (one brand is Karo); 1 cup pecans or 1 cup walnuts, broken

These balls are so quick and easy to make. They make a nice addition to the baked goodies that you give as gifts. Make these about a week before you want to serve them as they mellow and the sharp strong alcohol taste blends  in more with the other ingredients. Store in a tin with a tight lid.  This year I couldn't find the Vanilla wafers so I used chocolate and I like them even more.  To form the balls I use two teaspoons as the dough is quite moist.  I store them in the freezer - they don't go hard and they are so good ice cold

white corn syrup (one brand is Karo)

pecans

Stir in the spiced rum mixed with the syrup.

Shape mixture into walnut sizes balls and dredge with remaining sugar or leave them plain.

Fantastic! Not only are these both fast and easy to make, but the taste is terrific. Two comments: 1) I used a one-inch scoop and my yield was 40 rum balls; and 2) I'd recommend chilling the mixture for 15-30 mins before forming balls as it makes the process easier. Bergy, I'll be making these EVERY Xmas.
