Truffles: Vanilla Rum Balls

Source of Recipe

e-cookbooks.net


List of Ingredients

3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 cups vanilla wafers, crushed
4 tablespoons dark corn syrup
1/2 cup dark rum (more or less, depending on personal tastes)
extra cocoa or ground chocolate, to roll the rum balls in



Recipe

In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa and confectioners' sugar.

In a food processor or blender crush/crumble the vanilla wafers. Add the crushed vanilla wafers to the sugar mixture and combine. Add the remaining ingredients.

Form the mixture into 1 inch balls with your hands. The balls should hold together easily and retain their shape. If the mixture is too dry to hold together or too wet to form balls, you can easily adjust the consistency by adding rum/sugar accordingly.


Sprinkle the extra cocoa or ground chocolate on a flat surface and roll the balls in to coat. Store in a sealed container.
