RUMMY YUMMY RUM BALLS



Rummy Yummy Rum Balls image

If you can't stand waiting for cookies to bake and cool, speed up your sugar rush by sticking with no-bake cookies. These easy Holiday classics are exceptionally versatile. They can be made from any variety of rum, including spiced, dark and even coconut. Also vanilla or chocolate wafers work equally well. This recipe produces a particularly rummy rum ball. For a lighter touch, just ease off on the rum!!

RUM BALLS



Rum Balls image

I wanted a good rum ball with a lot of kick, so I sat down and came up with this recipe. I didn't realize how good these were until one year I didn't make them for work. I just about got lynched! Needless to say, I've made them every year since (about 20 years). These are best if you use Meyers Original Dark Rum® chilled, and Nabisco® 'Nilla wafer cookies. They are at their peak if you make them 2 days in advance. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before serving.

Time 1h10m

Yield 24

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 (12 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies (such as Nilla®)
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
¼ cup light corn syrup
¾ cup dark rum (such as Meyer's®)
1 cup confectioners' sugar, plus more for dusting

Steps:

  • Place vanilla cookies in a food processor and process into fine crumbs.
  • Heat chocolate chips and corn syrup together in a saucepan over low heat. Cook, stirring often, until chocolate is melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in rum and confectioners' sugar until smooth. Fold in cookie crumbs; dough will be sticky.
  • Place saucepan in the refrigerator until dough is firm and easy to roll, about 15 minutes. Cover 2 plates with waxed paper; dust with confectioners' sugar.
  • Roll dough into 1-inch balls and place on the prepared plates. Dust rum balls with confectioners' sugar. Refrigerate until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Remove rum balls from refrigerator and transfer to a resealable bag, including the extra confectioners' sugar. Seal the bag and shake to coat the rum balls completely with confectioners' sugar.

NO-BAKE RUM-RAISIN BALLS



No-Bake Rum-Raisin Balls image

All the rum balls I saw on this site use cookie or wafers crumbs as a base. This one come from New Zealand and has raisins and coconut. They need to be made a day in advance, though. This recipe comes from "The Joy of Cookies" by Sharon Tyler Herbst. Cook time is the 24 hours that they need to sit overnight and the 1 hour that the rum and oats rest.

KIWIDUTCH'S RUM BALLS, SULTANAS, NUTS, NO CONDENSED MILK, NOT



Kiwidutch's Rum Balls, Sultanas, Nuts, No Condensed Milk, Not image

now that I have discovered the difference of the of the USA/Canada version of the coconut and cookies compared to those available in New Zealand/Australia, the success or failure of either's recipes when the wrong substitution is used becomes crystal clear. I have a blog post on this in more detail and with photos of the various products ( dated 12th September 2009) and the link to my blog is on the bottom of my About Me page if you want all the information. When I first joined Zaar I looked up Rum Balls, saw how many there were, and didn't bother to post, but now I see that my recipe is different to all the rest in that it doesn't contain condensed milk, and does contain butter, walnuts and sultanas. I got this recipe from the Childrens Corner page of a very old copy of the "Star" newspaper, Christchurch New Zealand... in a late 70's or early 1980's issue. I have lost count the number of times I have made this over the years. Use either Rum or Rum essence, but do be aware that many Rum essences do contain alcohol (I only realised that one day when I needed to check it for someone who doesn't want alcohol for religous reasons) The Plain biscuits (cookies) are called "Vanilla Wine, or Superwine or Milk Arrowroots" in New Zealand, and "Maria" biscuits in The Netherlands. ZWT REGION: New Zealand.

Categories     Dessert

Time 25m

Yield 20 balls

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 -10 plain sweet biscuits (cookies, crushed finely)
100 g butter (4 oz, melted)
1 tablespoon cocoa powder
3/4 cup icing sugar (powdered sugar)
1/2 cup desiccated coconut
1 tablespoon rum (or Rum essence)
1/4 cup chopped walnuts (chopped finely)
1/4 cup sultana (chopped finely)
coconut (for rolling)

Steps:

  • Crush the plain cookies by hand or in a food processor, then tip into a mixing bowl.
  • Chop the nuts and sultanas by hand or place them both into the food processor together and pulse until chopped. (If you do the sultanas alone they will just fly around the sides of the bowl and not get near the blade).
  • Add sultanas, nuts, butter, cocoa, icing sugar, coconut, Rum to the mixing bowl, and mix well.
  • If the mixture is too wet, add a little more cookie crumbs (this can happen sometimes if the crumbs are processed too finely).
  • Roll into small balls, and roll these immediately into the extra coconut to coat.
  • The balls will be quite soft when made but will firm up once refrigerated for a little while.
  • Enjoy!
