These moist little morsels of chocolate and rum deliciousness are so easy to make and taste great. They don’t require baking, therefore the rum is not burned off, so save these treats for the adults! We used Myers’s Rum as we like the full rum taste, but an aged rum can also be used if you’d like a milder rum taste. You also can give them just a sprinkle of powdered sugar instead of rolling them in the sugar at the end, if desired. Enjoy!

Super Easy No Bake Rum Balls

Servings: 1 – inch balls

Ingredients

1 box Nilla Wafers (11 oz)
1/3 c. Dark Rum (we used Myers's) (Use an aged rum if you want a milder rum taste)
1 c. Powdered Sugar (plus a little extra for rolling or sprinkling at the end)
2 tbsp Cocoa Powder
2 tbsp White Corn Syrup

Instructions

Crush the wafers into crumbs by rolling them with a rolling pin in a large Ziploc bag or pulsing in a food processor.
Pour crushed wafers into a large mixing bowl and add the powdered sugar, cocoa and white corn syrup. Mix together.
Add rum and mix until the mixture can be formed into balls.
Take a teaspoon of the mixture and drop it on a plastic cutting board or other flat surface. Roll into a ball and repeat for the rest of the mixture.
Spread some powered sugar on a plate then roll each ball to coat. If you'd rather, you can also just sprinkle powdered sugar over the finished balls.
Store in the fridge until ready to use. Let them sit out and warm slightly before serving.
