  • Total 120 hr 20 min
  • Servings 60

Ingredients

  • 1 package (9 oz) thin chocolate wafer cookies, finely crushed (about 2 cups)
  • 2 cups finely chopped almonds, pecans or walnuts
  • 2 cups powdered sugar
  • 1/4 cup light rum
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar

Steps

  • 1
    In large bowl, mix crushed cookies, almonds and 2 cups powdered sugar. Stir in rum and corn syrup. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls.
  • 2
    In small bowl, place 1/2 cup powdered sugar. Roll balls in powdered sugar. Store in tightly covered container at least 5 days before serving to develop flavor but no longer than 4 weeks.

  • Substitute 1/4 cup bourbon for the rum.
  • Substitute 1/4 cup brandy for the rum.
  • For a clever, amusing way to show off these favorites, place individual balls in shot glasses—or put more in champagne or martini glasses.
