Rum Balls

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside. Ensure your cookie crumbs and finely chopped walnuts don’t have any big chunks.

Step 2

You want them to be similar to dry sand so they mix into your ingredients seamlessly. For best results, use a food processor to pulse them.

Step 3

In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed Nilla wafers, salt, and finely chopped walnuts. Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder into the walnut mixture. Stir the walnut and Nilla wafers mixture until thoroughly combined.

Step 4

In a small mixing bowl, combine the corn syrup and rum. Mix until the syrup is dissolved.

Step 5

Pour over the Nilla wafer mixture and mixture until it starts to get a thick consistency.Grab your rubber gloves and finish combining the mixture without too much smashing. It will be like cookie dough.

Step 6

Using a 1-inch cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on the prepared pan.

Step 7

Choose your toppings and place them in small bowls. Once you’re ready to coat them, re-roll the balls before rolling them in the toppings of your choice. Place back on the pan and enjoy!
