Christmas season is incomplete without rum balls.
List of Ingredients
(Makes about 60 balls)
1 pound vanilla wafers, finely crushed
2 cups (8 ounces) finely chopped pecans
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
6 jiggers (about 6 ounces) whiskey or rum
About 1/2 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
Recipe
Line a baking sheet with a large piece of wax paper.
In a large bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs and pecans. Add the cocoa
powder and mix to combine. Add the syrup and mix again. Add the whiskey or
rum and mix until thoroughly incorporated. Pinch about 1 tablespoon of the
mixture and roll it between your palms to form a ball. Transfer it to the
baking sheet; repeat with the remaining mixture. Set aside for 5 minutes.
Place the sugar in a large shallow bowl or in a resealable plastic bag.
Working a few at a time, roll or shake the balls in the sugar to coat.
Transfer to a large container, sprinkling with additional confectioners'
sugar, cover and refrigerate.
