Easy Rum Balls Recipe

  • My easy no bake rum balls have a wonderful chocolatey rum-infused flavor that you’ll just love! They’re a holiday favorite that’s delicious year round! Rum balls might be my favorite cookie/candy/amazingly delicious treat, I love how the toasted nuts, cocoa, cookies, and rum come together in a moist chewy, crunchy bite-sized bit of wonder! And yes you can make these with bourbon, brandy or whiskey too. Do these count as Cristmas cookies??
    By the By, you really need to try bourbon balls, kinda amazball...

    These are made in my family for decades. I use graham crackers with or without cinnamon, add some coffee to enhance chocolate flavor, melted dark chocolate ( Lindt or Dove , or any fancy European chocolate) , and roasted hazelnuts instead of pecans. Lots of rum !!! Coconut 🥥 is also great to enhance nut flavor with Malibu rum .

    "If they're a little dry, just add a little more liquid. Any one you want" as you're shaking the rum bottle! That made me laugh 😂 btw, I call them 'nilla wafers too.

    I have been looking for this recipe for years. I ate them as a child at the party thrown by the wife of an American diplomat . I do not think she meant for the children to tuck into them the way we did. I bet they had a good laugh when we worked our way around the bowl full of these 'brandy balls'! - we sat in a corner reading Enid Blyton "s " Adventures on Mystery Moor" and polished off the lot. I think I was 6-7 at the time!! I could never find the recipe but I have always thought of them at Christmas time - always. So thank you so much. HOWEVER we do not have Nilla ( vanilla) biscuits in the UK - Are you able to offer an alternative ( I so want to get this right)? I think shortbread will be too crumbly and oat biscuits too oatsy
