    Rum Balls

    These are crazy good! You'll likely eat them soon so go ahead and make two batches. One for now and one for later. The recipe is from my wife's late Aunt.

    AUNT SARA’S RUM BALLS

    2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (finely chopped; recommend using a food processor)
    3 tablespoons rum
    1 cup chopped pecans
    4 tablespoons dark corn syrup

    Wear rubber gloves!
    Blend all ingredients together and shape into small balls.
    Roll balls in powdered sugar.
    Store in tightly closed container.

    The longer they sit, the more potent!

    Haha, I love this idea, thanks! These would making sitting around the table after dinner listening to certain family members drone on about nothing a bit more bearable.

      If you don't wear gloves when making them you'll notice a difference in how you feel then as well!

    Ha! This reminds me of a potluck of sorts we had at work about 20 years ago and one of the guys brought in some rum balls. He took the lid off those suckers and the aroma enough about made us loupy. As the day went on they had turned to soup and we were eating rum balls with a spoon. By the end of the day we didn't have to go across the street for cocktails (even though we still did) because the rum balls had succeeded in making a few people tipsy. For whatever reason, have haven't had them since. Probably because nobody makes them. Thanks for sharing fuzzydaddy !

    I'd be concerned about those rubber gloves ruining the whole finger-licking experience ...

      Very true. It is sticky so when I didn't wear gloves I had a nice amount stuck to me and a bit of rum absorbed too!

      Well then ... win win, I'd say!

    Oh and don't forget to go pick up a jar of maraschino cherries, pour out the juice and fill with the excess rum/whisky, and let it set for a few days in advance. They go well with the Rum balls.

      No, no, no. After much experimentation (and it is worth the expense) you take Amarena Cherries, drain the syrup and replace it with maraschino liqueur (such as Luxardo). Let it sit and get friendly.

    My mom makes rum balls every year. The well-used recipe says "Bourbon Balls" but she uses rum instead. YUM!

      I will try the cabbage recipe but the thought about explaining "these are Fuzzy's rum balls" makes me laugh too hard!

      That was worth watching Atalanta. I don't know how they kept a straight face while doing the skit.
