A lot of work for something you would not feed to a stray dog. Just awful! one star

Quick easy recipe, very rummy-tasting (which is a bonus for me and my friends) and quite yummy if you ask me. I added 1/2 cup of Nestle Quik powder and 1/2 cup coconut flakes and I'm glad I did because it sucked up some of that overflow of rum!
Yielded 50 balls. Man, that's a lot of balls.

Delish... three stars

These are great. used Captain Morgan rum, and the longer you store the better the taste. I used cheap rum the first time not as good, learned my lesson never use cheap stuff 2 dollars makes a big difference in the taste. five stars

Don't waste your valuable time and ingredients on this one. Turned out too dry, too nutty, and the rum flavour was way overpowering, even though I halved the amount called for. Would be embarassed to serve this to anyone. one star
