Made 2 batches(US 48) to bring to work, everyone loved them. I used Jerry's Spiced Rum 90proof, only one complaint of being too strong. Served about 30 or so people, some had one and wanted more, others had 5 or 6(too much for one person at work). Recipe was easy, used a hand mixer for ease and consistency, poored rum in first and mixed then added corn syrup little by little. I rolled balls with spoons instead of hands.

This is an easy recipe and it tastes good, although the rum taste is a little overwhelming. Don't expect a lot of chocolate flavor. The rum covers it completely. If I could have made a test batch in advance, I would have reduced the rum by about 2 Tablespoons and possibly rolled the balls in cocoa, or a mixture of cocoa and powdered sugar. Provided you do not mind the overwhelming alcohol flavor, the recipe is fine as is.

These are sooo good. I have to slap myself to make me stop eating them. I used Barcardi Vanila Rum.

I followed the recipe to a "T" and found the rum flavor to be overwhelmingly strong and the texture of the cookie extremely dry. I have made rum balls in the past that were much better. I remembered that the recipe then had called for 1/2 c. oil and much less rum.

These are so shockingly good it is unreal! I would give 6 stars if I could. They truly are better after a few days. The texture solidifies a bit more and the flavors all combine into this wonderful mix, rather than any one flavor being dominant (the way the rum is at first). A tip - the texture is really best if you can mix with your hands, but it will get your hands a total mess because the cookie mix is very, very sticky at first. It is best if you have another person to do the rolling in the powdered sugar or it gets to be a real mess!

My all-time favorite rum-ball recipe. If we want a less strong taste, we half the rum, but usually we switch out the light rum, for dark. These are delicious.

SO EASY! SO DELICIOUS! This is a must make for any holiday season! They won't be around for long. I actually used dark rum and had to store them out in the garage so I wouldn't eat them all myself. I am making these for a cookie swap and need 6 dozen. One recipe goes a long way if you aren't eating them all while you are making them.

Perfect for the non-baker. Requests are coming in from family who recieved these last year at Christmastime,so I guess they are a big hit. Only change was the substitution of Malibu Rum as previously suggested.

These did not wow me. I followed suggestions and finely ground the wafers and nuts (I used hazelnuts) in the food processor. I didn't care for the resulting texture of the cookie. I may try again using coarser pieces of nuts/wafers so the end product has more "bite". The rum flavor seemed just right after about 4 days.

I have always been looking for this recipe. I made them years ago; lost the recipe but the memories lingered on. I was so glad to get the idea of using my food processor as many used. Thank you so much for a delicious cookie. Bernie

These rum balls are awesome. I have tried many recipes that are often mucky and a pain to make. These are perfect. I used a food processor then stirred in the cornstarch and rum. As we like lots of flavour, I used dark rum and dissolved 1 tsp. of instant coffee in it first. In Canada nilla vanilla wafers come in a box slightly under 12 oz. and so I didn't use quite the full amount of rum...just added it until I got a cohesive dough. Then rolled the balls in chocolate sprinkles which is our tradition. Thank you so much. My family are going to love you this Christmas. I know I will be making them each year from now on.

Outsanding... However, my grocery store didn't sell the wafers in 12oz boxes so it was fun for the kid to figure out how many wafers it takes to make 12oz. The rum balls were the BEST.

These are an old family fave, unfortunately the recipe was lost and I've been trying many to recipes replace it. I thought these came out perfect, this recipe tasted just like my great grandma's used to.

Wow, did these cause a stir in our house at Xmas time! Even though they were too strong (even after sitting 3 days), everyone loved them. Next time we make these, I will probably let them dry a bit in the open air before sealing them, not to mention cutting the alcohol down to 1/4c. They were still great though:)
