Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) sweetened condensed milk
- 2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.25 cups dark rum
- 2 cups (crushed) vanilla wafer cookies
- 0.5 cups powdered sugar
- 0.25 cups unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1 cup (optional, for coating) sprinkles or finely chopped nuts
Instructions
1. In a medium-sized saucepan, combine the sweetened condensed milk and chocolate chips over low heat.
2. Stir continuously until the chocolate chips are fully melted and the mixture is smooth. Remove from heat.
3. Stir in the dark rum and mix well.
4. Place the vanilla wafer cookies into a food processor and pulse until fine crumbs form. Add the crushed cookies to the chocolate mixture and stir until fully incorporated.
5. Let the mixture cool slightly until it’s firm enough to handle, about 10-15 minutes in the refrigerator.
6. In a small bowl, combine the powdered sugar and cocoa powder for rolling.
7. Scoop out about 1 tablespoon of the mixture and roll it between your hands to form a ball. Repeat with the remaining mixture.
8. Roll each ball into the powdered sugar and cocoa mixture to coat evenly. Alternatively, you can roll the balls in sprinkles or chopped nuts for a different texture and flavor.
9. Place the finished rum balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
10. Store the rum balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
