Every year my boyfriend and I bake for all our friends and family a whole selection of goodies. The ones with alcohol in them seem to be the favorites :) I wonder why? Ingredients:
2 (16 ounce) boxes vanilla wafers, crushed |
2 teaspoons cocoa powder |
2 tablespoons light corn syrup |
1 cup powdered sugar |
1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped |
1/2 cup bacardi o rum (orange flavored rum) |
extra rum, to taste (optional) |
powdered sugar, for coating |
Directions:
1. Mix all dry ingredients and set aside in big bowl.
2. Mix corn syrup, and rum together.
3. Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix well with a fork.
4. Let stand for 2 hours.
5. If you like your rum balls super rummy you can add 1/2 cup more at this point and let it sit again for 2 hours.
6. You can repeat the adding rum and waiting 2 hour step till it suits your taste.
7. There is a good midpoint where the mix is not too wet and not too dry.
8. Rolling the 1 balls should not be a sticky (too wet) or crumbly (too dry) task.
9. Roll into balls and then roll in powdered sugar to coat.
10. Store in sealed container.
