I thought that these were good, but nothing special. Easy to make.

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.

I made this recipe for the holidays. It was good but I didn't get very many compliments.

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.
