These are really easy, really delicious. No baking necessary! When you’re having company over or visting someone else for the holidays, just set a plate heaping full of them out and watch them disappear. It’s best to make them atleast a week ahead of time, put them in a tupperware container and set in the refrigerator to “season”.
Rum Balls
2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafers
1 cup granulated sugar
1/2 cup finely chopped walnuts
1/3 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup light rum
Powdered sugar
Line airtight container with wax paper. Set aside. In large mixing bowl, combine wafers, granulated sugar and walnuts. Add butter and rum. Stir until well blended. Mixture will be crumbly.
Shape mixture into 1 inch balls. Roll balls in powdered sugar. Place on ungreased baking sheet and let stand for 1 hour. Re-roll balls in powdered sugar and place in prepared container. Store in refrigerator. – Allow to season for alteast one week. Rum flavor improves with time.
Ahhhhhhhhhhh – something I can make without an OVEN!!!!!!!
Yum, I have had these long time ago, but never made them. Thanks for the recipe.
Ooooh those look good. And RUM!
Awesome! I think I'll add a little more rum, though! 🙂
I pretty much need these in my life……..
Love your new header AND the rum balls! I`m heading to the kitchen…..
Oh…yum!!
And your header is so cute!!
I have had these at someone's house…and they are delicious. What a great last minute little gift for someone! Hugs- Diana
FABULOUS idea Karen!! No cooking involved!! You know…I'm not the best at it!! Will definitely give these a try…they sound terrific!!
I'd prefer them to the oily balls. And I don't even like rum! 😉
Steve's grandfather used to make these. We haven't had them in years, but I will add them to our cookie tray this year. Thanks!
