3 1/4 cups crushed vanilla wafers
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
1 1/2 cups chopped nuts
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup rum
Combine crushed vanilla wafers, 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, cocoa and nuts. Blend in corn syrup and rum. Shape into 1-inch balls; roll in additional confectioners' sugar. Store in an airtight container several days to develop flavor. Roll again in confectioners' sugar before serving.

These are a tradition in our family & we've made them for years. They are a delicious, pop-able treat!

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

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...

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.
