Weeeheeeheeeelllll then.... seems like we're on a baked goodies trend. However, in my previous post I mentioned how my baking endeavors have gone, so here is a delightful recipe that we would make at my house that again requires no baking. And this time, it involves rum... and chocolate... because that's what the holiday season is all about right? You can make your balls however you like, big, small, odd-shaped. Personally, I like mine dipped in chocolate. Get your mind out of the gutter... Santa is still watching and he will not hesitate to take all your presents back, you dirty perverts.
INGREDIENTS:
3 cups crushed vanilla wafers
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup spiced rum
DIRECTIONS:
1. In a large bowl, stir together the crushed vanilla wafers, 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, cocoa, and nuts. Drizzle in vanilla, corn syrup and rum.
2. Scoop scoop and shape into 1 inch balls or larger. I used about 4 teaspoons of the chocolate mixture per ball which equaled 2 level scoops from the small cookie scoop.
3. Roll Rum Balls in additional confectioners' sugar, cocoa, sprinkles or whatever strikes your fancy. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for several days to develop the flavor.
I like balls.
ReplyDelete..WAIT. Chocolate ones! Big, chocolate ones!
....okay, that's not getting any better.
Yes. I will have to try these. Anything with the words Rum. Chocolate. Balls usually strikes my fancy. Especially when combined. (Hm. Still digging myself in a hole here. Oh well!)
