The rum is really overpowering, in my opinion. However, it did lessen over a week's time, and my relatives did really like them. I added cinnamon to the mix and it gave it a bananas foster flavor.

This is fantastic and easy to make. I used Malibu Rum coconut flavor and it added that special flavor. I then made 3 batches, 1 rolled in coconut flakes, another rolled in regular sugar, and the last in powdered sugar. All came out very very yummy. A keeper for sure.

Love these treats! I make these every Christmas! Defenitely refrigerate overnight before eating. I have found that if you eat them right away the rum flavor is very strong.....it kind of mellows and the flavors blend after sitting awhile in the fridge. :)

Just a tip to take your rum flavor to another level. Add two vanilla beans to your bottle of rum and let it sit for a month. Shake once a week sure you have to plan ahead but it is worth it.

These were delicious, may be not so moist. I made these with rum and I tried Amaretto liqueur too. I liked all combinations. I used 1/2 cup sugar.

I tried a batch of these on some friends and family just before x-mas. At least 12 of us tasted them and all had strong opinions. I gave this recipe 3 stars because 1/2 of us really liked these and begged for more, the other 1/2 of us hated them. The alcohol is not cooked out of the rum balls and the taste is very strong.

These tasted yummy; however, the granulated sugar spoiled the effect. The sugar crunches when you chew them. I would add more rum, more nuts, and use powdered sugar.

I searched high and low for the perfect Rum Ball recipe, and this is it! I use Capt. Morgan's Spiced Rum......and instead of rolling them in sugar, I use coconut (which you can color for holidays) or finely chopped walnuts. They make great gifts too....with that personal touch!

I fixed these to give away as gifts for the holiday.They were a big hit. I also substituted the dark rum for raspberry rum so they became chocolate raspberry walnut balls.I will be making these every year.
