Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 240 grams Chocolate wafer cookies
- 120 grams Powdered sugar
- 30 grams Unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 teaspoons Instant coffee granules
- 60 milliliters Dark rum
- 60 milliliters Light corn syrup
- 90 grams Chopped pecans or walnuts (optional)
- 50 grams Chocolate sprinkles or powdered sugar (for rolling)
Instructions
1. Place the chocolate wafer cookies in a food processor and pulse until finely ground. Transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
2. Add the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, instant coffee granules, and chopped nuts (if using) to the bowl with the cookie crumbs. Stir until well combined.
3. In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the dark rum and light corn syrup. Stir until the mixture is well blended.
4. Pour the rum and corn syrup mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until a dough-like consistency forms. If the mixture feels too dry, add a teaspoon of rum or water at a time until the desired consistency is achieved.
5. Using your hands, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
6. Roll each ball in either chocolate sprinkles or powdered sugar for decoration.
7. Transfer the completed rum balls to an airtight container and refrigerate them for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld.
8. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your mocha rum balls with a cup of coffee or as a delightful dessert!
