Chocolate Rum Balls

These rum balls are delicious, but off limits to kids.  They make great gifts.  My husband requests them every year.  If you want to make a kid friendly version, substitute the rum with Orange Juice.  They are not quite as good, but the kids will still enjoy them.

Ingredients
3 1/4 cups crushed vanilla wafers
3/4 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup rum

Instructions
 1. In a large bowl, stir together the crushed vanilla wafers, 3/4 cup confectioners' sugar, cocoa, and nuts. Blend in corn syrup and rum.
   2. Shape into 1 inch balls, and roll in additional confectioners' sugar. Store in an airtight container for several days to develop the flavor. Roll again in confectioners' sugar before serving.



Notes:
I discovered this time around that if I have just a sprinkle of water on my hands and rub my hands together that they form much easier and won't stick to your hands while you roll them.  They get more potent as the time goes on, so be careful!  Don't eat and drive! Heehee
