What Shall We Make Today?

Since it’s almost New Year’s Eve, I thought I’d share one of my daughter’s favorite party recipes…Rum Balls!

Ingredients

2-1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers (about 75 wafers)

1 cup ground pecans

1 cup confectioners’ sugar

2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons baking cocoa

¼  – ½ cup rum (your choice)

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons water

Additional confectioners’ sugar or crushed vanilla wafers

Directions

Mix together wafer crumbs, pecans, confectioners’ sugar and cocoa. Combine rum, honey and water; stir into crumb mixture. Shape into 1-in. balls. Roll in additional confectioners’ sugar or wafer crumbs. (I have seen these rum balls also rolled in crushed pecans, coconut or candy bits.)  Store in an airtight container.

NOTE: Bourbon may be substituted for the rum if you like.

ENJOY!
