Rum Balls
,, #2
INGREDIENTS:
* 1 cup chocolate chips or chopped chocolate
* 3 tbsp light corn syrup
* 1/2 cup rum
* 2.5 cups crushed vanilla wafers, like Nilla wafers (about one 10-ounce
box)
* 1 cup powdered sugar, divided
* 1 cup finely chopped nuts
PREPARATION:
1. Place the chocolate in a large microwave-safe bowl and microwave until
melted, stirring after every 45 seconds to prevent overheating.
2. Once the chocolate is melted, add the corn syrup and rum and stir until
well-combined. Stir in the wafer crumbs, 1/2 cup powdered sugar, and chopped
nuts. Place the mixture in the refrigerator until it is firm enough to
shape, about 1 hour.
3. Using a teaspoon, roll the candy into small balls between your palms.
Place the remaining 1/2 cup powdered sugar in a small bowl, and roll the
balls in the sugar. (Alternately, the balls can be rolled in chopped nuts or
cocoa powder).
4. Place the rum balls in an airtight container and refrigerate them to age
them for several days. Rum balls can be stored for an additional 2-3 weeks,
and many people feel they are better the longer they are aged, so they are a
great make-ahead treat. Store the balls in the refrigerator, and let them
come to room temperature before serving. From Sugar
