I was recently invited to participate by
Flavor Fix in a cookie challenge. I don't eat a lot of sweets, but my
rum balls are simply divine. I usually make them for a Christmas treat, but they are perfect anytime of year. Anyone who has tried them can't stop eating them until they are stuffed.
So they were a perfect choice as my entry to the contest, and I'm delighted that Flavor Fix chose it as the
2nd place winner in the contest! Somewhat like truffles, these rum balls are stronger in taste because of the rum. Yum! I suggest you use a nice dark Jamaican rum for this recipe. If you want to include crushed nuts, substitute 1 cup of the wafers for 1 cup of nuts, such as hazelnuts. Use 4 1/2 tablespoons of chocolate chips to equal 1/2 cup of chocolate.

- 1/2 cup milk chocolate
- 1/2 cup icing sugar

Instructions:
In a heavy pot, melt the chocolate on low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the icing sugar and corn syrup. Beat in the vanilla wafers (and nuts if you are using them). Next stir in the salt, vanilla and rum until well combined. Refrigerate the mixture until firm. Roll the mixture into small 1-inch balls. Roll in the coatings of your choice. I like cocoa and rice flour.
