I wanted a good rum ball with a lot of kick, so I sat down and came up with this recipe. I didn't realize how good these were until one year I didn't make them for work — I just about got lynched! Needless to say, I've made them every year since (about 20 years).
Ingredients
- 1 , 12 ounce
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups light corn syrup
- 0.75 cups dark rum , such as Meyer's
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar , plus more for dusting
Instructions
-
1
Gather all ingredients.
-
2
Place vanilla cookies in a food processor and process into fine crumbs.
-
3
Heat chocolate chips and corn syrup together in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until chocolate is melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rum and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in cookie crumbs; dough will be sticky.
-
4
Place saucepan in the refrigerator until dough is firm and easy to roll, about 15 minutes. Cover 2 plates with waxed paper; dust with confectioners' sugar.
-
5
Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared plates. Dust rum balls with confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
-
6
Remove rum balls from refrigerator and transfer to a resealable bag, including the extra confectioners' sugar. Seal the bag and shake to coat the rum balls completely with confectioners' sugar.
