Rum Balls

Delicious Dessert Recipes

Rum balls used to be more common during the holidays. Some recipes are very complicated and expensive. This recipe is pretty simply. It is time consuming. And it is alcoholic - please tell people ahead so they can pass if they choose.

RUM BALLS

4 cups graham crackercrumbs
1 cup cocoa
3 cups finely chopped walnuts
honey
1 cup rum
1/2 cup bourbon
powdered sugar

Use honey to get the sweetness you want, and use rum to get the consistency you want.

Roll into smallish balls - they're very rich, so small will be appreciated. Roll in powdered sugar. Place into a cleaned airtight container for months.

When you take them out to serve, they will not be ball shaped any more, so re-roll them.
