Chocolate Rum Balls

Chocolate-Rum-Balls-picture-600-x-451-300x225-5Each year, Nina (one of our lead organizers) always makes me her infamous Chocolate Rum Balls.  This year, I couldn’t resist asking her for the recipe and sharing it with you.  So, enjoy this holiday treat.  If you have a holiday cookie or dessert you’re famous for, please share it in the comments below.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips (about 6 ounces)
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup dark rum (or more if you’re feeling jolly!)
  • 2 1/2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafer cookies (about 10 ounces)
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans

Preparation

Stir chocolate in top of double boiler set over simmering water until melted and smooth. Remove from over water. Whisk in the 1/2 cup sugar and corn syrup, then the rum. Mix vanilla wafers and pecans in medium bowl to blend; add chocolate mixture and stir to blend well.

For each rum ball, roll 1 scant tablespoon chocolate mixture into generous 1-inch ball. Cover and refrigerate at least overnight and up to 5 days.
