I made these for Christmas and everyone seemed to like them. Definitely use a mellon baller to shape these. I didn't have one and I was a mess when I was through.

I liked this recipe. My only complaint was that the rum was too strong for my liking.

Pretty good! And easy! Used them for a cookie exchange, and got good reviews! I ended up making them smaller than called for, so I had a TON of them!!

I gave it a four because the rum got a little strong, but they were good.

I used Frangelico and pecans. I thought the mixture was a little dry, so I basted them with little more Frangelico/Karo syrup mixture. They got more moist as they sat in the container, but they were still missing something. More sugar? More booze? I don't know. Maybe some of the Nilla wafers could be substituted for something else, but I don't know what. These were still pretty good, and the Frangelico didn't make them boozey at all (maybe that was the problem...)

These tasted just like I remembered. Don't forget to let them "marinate" in a closed container or ziploc and dust again with powdered sugar before serving. If you use the ziploc bag method of "rolling" them in powdered sugar, you only have to use one ziploc for everything - initial powdered sugar coating, "marinating", then the final powdered sugar coating before serving. A real time and dish-saver!

Delicious! I used pecans instead of walnuts because I prefer the taste. Like another reviewer said, you can really use whatever alcohol/nuts you like - I did half the mix with Kahlua, and half with Malibu and they were both amazing! My advice would be to start with the dry mixture, add the corn syrup & alcohol, and then add more until it's wet enough to hold together & you like the flavour. It's not a fussy recipe at all! I chilled mine to make it easier to form the balls - they were too wet at room temp. Decadent! Thanks so much - this was a great last-minute recipe for when I had no cream and couldn't use the oven due to the turkey & roast potatoes taking up all the space.

This is the easiest rum ball dough to handle. I used a melon baller for ease, and little rolling with my hands was necessary. I did slightly increase the rum (a little under 3/4 cup) and they were a tremendous hit. Make sure to use a quality rum (I used Myer's Dark) to really accentuate the rum's flavor. Excellent with after dinner coffee.

OK, I was honestly apprehensive when I came across this recipe. I was expecting some sort of truffle like creation by the name, and when I read about the Vanilla Wafers, I was put off. I could not have been more wrong. It was easy to make, and after letting them sit, they were an absolute joy! If I were to change anything, it would be adding more rum, because it was just more of a background note in the balls we made. Other than that, these will definitely be a staple in my recipes box! 4.5 stars.

Excellent rum balls!!! Loved these. Omitted the walnuts because of family allergies and they were still delicious. I would like to note however that the recipe only made about 24 walnut-sized balls, not the 48 the recipe claims.

I've been making these every year since 2002 and they are consistently a hit. I had a co-worker who didn't like chocolate so I used to make a batch where I omitted the cocoa and they were STILL good ;)
