So easy and good! Didn't have rum. I had a choice between Bailey's irish cream and butterscotch schnapps. I went with the Bailey's and they are great! I really think the schnapps would have been good too though. Nabisco nilla wafers now come in an 11 oz package instead of 12. With that in mind, i cut down the liquid a little. I crushed the cookies in a ziploc bag with the side of my meat tenderizer, then i used the same bag for coating the 'Bailey's Balls' in the powdered sugar. Less dishes to wash. You gotta love that! I have a strong feeling these won't last the 2 or 3 days required ;)

I added 1/2 teaspoon vanilla, and used spiced rum. Then rolled in coconut mixed with power sugar. I ground the pecans in the food proc, same with the cookies. They don't last one day, so i don't know what they taste like after a few days. These are so yummy. Also, the vanilla wafers now come in an 11 oz box, not 12. be sure to wet your fingers when making the balls, they will not stick to your hand, and they will tack up so the coconut will stick. I kept a dipping bowl near by.

Great recipe! It's going to be really hard not to eat them all before they fully ripen! >

Wow, these were not only easy to make but delicious. I couldn't find the vanilla wafers so I used chocolate wafers and it only came in a 10 ounce package so I had to adjust the liquid to 1/4 cup of rum. I don't like things too sweet so I cut down the icing sugar to 1/4 cup. It came out just right. I dipped them in melted chocolate and put them in the fridge. It looks impressive yet very easy. Will make these again next Christmas. Thanks!

I make these every year for my friends and co-workers and they are a hit every time. Sometimes I sub Kahlua for rum and roll them in coconut for a twist; those always go over well.

I added a tad more rum, rolled some in cocoa, some in powdered sugar and some in chopped nuts. Better yet, enjoyed rolling these along side my daughter while listening to Christmas music.

I've made these for years. My alteration is to put the cookie dough around a maraschino stemmed cherry and they're sooooo good. You may want to try it.

the box of wafers was 10oz, I put a little too much rum & ended up with a mixture a little too soft to form a ball. So I added 3 oz of crushed cocoa flavored animal crackers. Still too soft. I got tired of dealing with crushing crackers so somehow decided to dump 1 cup of panko (Japanese bread crumbs). What a forgiving recipe! It turned out great!!
