Prep Time: 15 minutes Chill Time: 30 minutes (optional)

Ingredients

  • 3 1/2 cups vanilla wafer cookies or graham cracker
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/3 cup dark rum or cold brewed coffee
  • 2 tablespoons corn syrup

Instructions

In a food processor, pulse vanilla wafer cookies until they form fine crumbs. Add pecans and pulse again until finely chopped.

Transfer cookie crumbs and pecans to a large bowl. Sift powdered sugar, cocoa powder over the mixture.

In a small bowl, whisk together rum and corn syrup. Pour the wet mixture over the dry ingredients and mix until well combined.

Scoop out a tablespoon of mixture and roll into a ball. Roll the ball in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or chopped pecans. Repeat with remaining mixture.

Store rum balls in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks at room temperature or freeze for up to 3 months.

Pro Tips:

  • Adjust Rum: If you prefer a stronger rum flavor, add more rum to the mixture. For a milder flavor, use less rum or substitute with rum extract.
  • Customizable Coatings: Experiment with different coatings, such as crushed nuts, coconut flakes, or sprinkles.
  • Aging: For a more intense flavor, let the rum balls age for a few days before serving.
  • To make an alcohol-free version, replace the rum with water, orange juice, cranberry juice, or cold brewed coffee. You can also add a teaspoon of vanilla or rum extract.

Enjoy these delightful treats!
