6 ingredients
9 steps

Ingredients

  • 3 tablespoons cocoa powder
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar (150g)
  • 3 cups vanilla wafers, crushed (Crush vanilla biscuits and use if you dont get vanilla wafers, 300g)
  • 4 tablespoons dark corn syrup or 4 tablespoons golden syrup
  • 1/2 cup dark rum (more or less, depending on personal tastes)
  • extra cocoa or ground chocolate, to roll the rum balls in

Directions

  1. 1
    In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa and confectioners' sugar.
  2. 2
    In a food processor or blender crush/crumble the vanilla wafers.
  3. 3
    Add the crushed vanilla wafers to the sugar mixture and combine.
  4. 4
    Add the remaining ingredients.
  5. 5
    Form the mixture into 1 inch (2. 5 cm) balls with your hands.
  6. 6
    The balls should hold together easily and retain their shape.
  7. 7
    If the mixture is too dry to hold together or too wet to form balls, you can easily adjust the consistency by adding rum/sugar accordingly.
  8. 8
    Sprinkle the extra cocoa or ground chocolate on a flat surface and roll the balls in to coat.
  9. 9
    Have 'em on your cookie tray this year and watch 'em vanish before you know it!
