Classic Rum Balls

Ingredients :

• 1 1/2 – 2 cups vanilla wafers, finely crushed
• 1 (14 oz) can sweetened condensed milk
• 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 1/2 cup walnuts or pecans, finely crushed
• 1/4 cup dark rum
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• Chocolate or Christmas sprinkles, as needed

How to Make Rum Balls :

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
2. Crush nuts and wafers with a rolling pin or in a food processor. Crumbs should be very fine.
3. To a large bowl, add 1 1/2 cups of the wafer crumbs, condensed milk, cocoa powder, crushed nuts, rum, and salt.
4. Stir together with a spoon, then use your hands to combine the mixture once it becomes too thick. If mixture isn’t thick enough, add more wafer crumbs.
5. Scoop out and roll mixture into 1-inch balls, then roll in sprinkles until coated.
6. Place on prepared baking sheet and chill until firm and ready to serve. Enjoy!
