Although this rum ball recipe contains less than ¼ c. (60 mL) rum, these rum balls taste like you could stick in a straw and have a party. These are best made now, allowing time for the flavors to mellow and blend, in time for the holidays.
Nicole’s Sinfully Good Rum Balls:
½ c. (125 mL) chopped raisins
3 tbsp. (45 mL) dark rum or non-alcoholic rum-flavored extract
1 c. (250 mL) water
2 - 1 oz. each (28 g) squares unsweetened chocolate, coarsely chopped
1 c. (250 mL) granulated sugar
2 c. (500 mL) vanilla wafer crumbs (65-to -70 vanilla wafers) or 2 c. graham wafer crumbs
¼ c. (60 mL) chocolate baking crumbs
½ c. (125 mL) chopped walnuts
Dash salt
1 c. (250 mL) chocolate shot
In small bowl, combine raisins and rum; set aside. In medium saucepan, boil water, chocolate, and sugar 10 min., stirring often. Cool to room temperature. Add crumbs, walnuts, salt, and rum-soaked raisins, mixing well. Chill mixture 1 hr. Working in small batches, shape into balls about 1-in. (2.54 cm) in diameter. Roll in chocolate shot, refrigerating in air-tight container to store. Makes 18 rum balls.
