Rum or Bourbon Balls

  1. All Favorites
  2. Cookies & Sweets
  3. Christmas Favorites

Ingredients

21/2 cups finely crushed Vanilla wafers
1 cup powdered sugar
2 Tbls cocoa powder
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
2 Tbls corn syrup
1/2 cup Rum or Bourbon (Brandy is Dandy too!)
I like the rum. 😊


Instructions

Mix ingredients and shape into bite-sized balls.
Roll into plenty of powdered sugar (sifted if lumpy)
Dough will be sticky!
After rolling sift additional sugar over tops. (I drop these into candy cups to serve.)
Bourbon has a stronger-more-boozy taste than rum, but is still very good!
