EASY, FESTIVE (AND BOOZY!) RUM BALLS RECIPE

Steps:

• Place vanilla wafers in a food processor and pulse into fine crumbs. There might be a few large pieces that don't catch the blade at this step, but they'll eventually end up getting pulverized, so don't worry. (Alternatively, place vanilla wafers into a Ziploc bag and bash them with a rolling pin until they are fine pieces).
• Add confectioners' sugar, cocoa and corn syrup and pulse till combined. Add the 1/3 cup rum and pulse to combine. If necessary, slowly add more rum to the food processor until the mixture comes together and forms a mass around the blade or holds together when you pinch it.
• Using a teaspoon or a #100 scoop, scoop out balls from the processor, roll them gently with your hands into irregular-shaped balls, and drop them into a plate (or shallow tupperware) filled with a thin layer of powdered sugar. Shake the vessel to coat the balls, then transfer balls to an airtight storage container until you are ready to serve them. Store in the fridge or freeze for up to 3 months. Bring to room temperature briefly before serving.

VANILLA RUM BALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa and confectioners' sugar.
• In a food processor or blender crush/crumble the vanilla wafers.
• Add the crushed vanilla wafers to the sugar mixture and combine.
• Add the remaining ingredients.
• Form the mixture into 1 inch (2. 5 cm) balls with your hands.
• The balls should hold together easily and retain their shape.
• 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.
• Sprinkle the extra cocoa or ground chocolate on a flat surface and roll the balls in to coat.
• Have 'em on your cookie tray this year and watch 'em vanish before you know it!

RUM BALLS

Steps:

• In a food processor combine walnuts, vanilla wafers and 1 cup of the powdered sugar; pulse several times to mix well. Add rum, a little at a time, just until moistened and it forms a soft pliable dough. Turn out dough onto work surface lightly dusted with confectioners' sugar. Dust your hands lightly with confectioners' sugar, pull off walnut-sized pieces and roll them between your palms to form compact balls. Roll again in confectioner's sugar to coat.
