I din't care too much for these. I made the brandy ones because my mother-in-law loves brandy. They were strong little guys that could knock you out!! I did use 2 boxes of vanilla wafers when the reciepe called for 1.

the two stars is FOR MYSELF. i'm making this at the moment and for some reason, it's not exactly hardening for me to roll into balls. the only thing i did different is the wafers, which i crushed by hand, so of course there were some chunks here and there. but then i took the entire mixture and blended by blender, so it's just a liquid mess at this point. what did i do wrong??

Very tastey! I followed some ideas of the others and added some of the walnuts to the mixture. I only found a 12 oz. box of Nilla Wafers so that's all I used. Chopped the Nilla Wafers and the nuts in a grinder for my own sanity. I also made sure to refrigerate the chocolate mix before forming the balls. I used a "tiny ice cream scoop" with the release handle and it formed perfect shapes. I dropped the balls into a bowl of confectioners sugar and nuts and swirled them around for a good coating. I fit about 4 into the bowl. Worked great and not too messy. I will make these again!!!!

These came out good. I did chill the mixture for a few minutes before attempting to roll, otherwise it would have been too messy. I also think the next time I will mix some of the chopped nuts IN to the chocolate and nilla wafer mixture - they just didnt stick that well to the out side of the balls.

LOVED IT!! Used Captian Morgan's spiced rum and it was a wonderful flavor. Had tons of people tell me it was the best rum balls they had ever had! Have given three people this recipe so far. This one goes in my favorites for sure! Thanks for sharing it.

Quite tasty the second day. I made mine with Myers Dark Rum. If you omit the crushed walnuts, roll in additional Nilla wafer crumbs before rolling in the cocoa or 10x sugar. This helps the ball firm up. I put my additional Nilla wafer crumbs in a ziploc baggie and just shook up the balls in there before rolling in the 10x. Make sure you keep these away from the kiddos!

I thought the outcome was a little too mushie for my taste, and not quite rummy enough. I prefer something with more crunch. I omitted nuts since my boyfriend is allergic and it's a good thing because he LOVES this recipe. I would make it again for him, but they're safe with me... not my favorite.

Sorry to spoil the ratings, these looked great but come out very greasy. After doing some research it seems there are two types of Vanilla Wafers - the round plain cookie and the sandwich wafer. I used a box marked "vanilla wafers" although they were the sandwich cookies. Hmmm... I think there needs to be some clarification in the recipe. I am new to Rum/Brandy Balls. I will try the other kind of wafer next time. :(

Turned out great! They get better with age. Also, I put the walnuts IN the mixture rather than rolling the balls in them.

Is this recipe is really great. I only tried a sample batch aat first, just to see how they would come out. When they tell you to let these things set up, you better do it. Anyway, I ended up making about 200 rum balls this holiday season because everyone loved them so much.

Very easy to make, especially with a food processor and a small scoop with a release. Chilling the chocolate mixture for at least 30 minutes before attempting to form the balls made the process much easier/less messy.

While this is good, it wasn't rummy enough for my taste and was a little on the dry side.

LOVE IT!!! I was looking for a recipe that didn't call for corn syrup since an old recipe I had didn't call for it so I went with this one. I did not see a vanilla wafer box that was 16 ounces, just 11 & 12. I bought 2 boxes and just added a little at a time from the second box until I got the right consistency. I kept it simple and just rolled them in powdered sugar. I also didn't think that I would need so much powdered sugar so I poured a lot less into the bowl and did just fine.
