Perfection! This is the recipe my mom has made for many years now. I lost it, but when I saw this recipe I knew it was the same! You really need to let these "rest" a few days before eating (but if you like rum, then why wait, right?!) They are also good rolled in cocoa powder and dipped in chocolate.

These are awesome!! I made them last year and they were a hit! I use Bacardi Vanilla flavored rum instead of plain rum and it gives it a little something extra, and this year I will triple the recipe, due to the high demand!! I also throw the nuts and cookies in the food processor to make sure they are ground up finely.

These were just okay...The rum was overpowering, even my father, who loves rum, thought these were too strong tasting.

I get such RAVE reviews when I make these. The only changes I make is that I use Malibu Rum instead of regular rum...it's what I have on hand and personally I prefer it because the flavor is much more mild and I'm not a big rum fan. I definately feel this is a recipe that you should ALWAYS DOUBLE as they will disappear quickly. And they really do get better after a few days...they just don't normally last that long! haha I wouldn't suggest trying to crush the ingredients with anything other than a food processor. It just gives you a totally different type of cookie. I most like these when the cookies and nuts are ground to an almost powder consistancy. That way you taste the 'cookie' not the 'ingredients' if that makes sense to you.

These were excellent! I followed the recipe exactly. I crushed the vanilla wafers and nuts in a food processor, which worked great. The recipe doesn't specify what type of nuts... I used walnuts. Next time I will crush the nuts more finely. I let the rum balls cure for 4 days in the fridge (the recipe didn't specify if they needed to be refrigerated so I wasn't sure). They came out perfect.

Very easy to make. Really yummy. Couldn't keep my hands off them! Amber rum makes them extra rummy and more time in the fridge ages the flavour nicely.

This recipe is good; I just didn't do a very good job of crushing the wafers so I had a few chucks but the rum softened them overnight. Remember that the recipe calls for LIGHT rum. Next time I will also grind the nuts into smaller pieces.

I made these for Christmas and they were a big hit!! The cocoa is a nice touch. I let mine marinate for 1 week. I think the longer they marinate, the better the taste.

So easy! I used a food processor for the wafers and almonds. Since my family doesn't like things too sweet, I cut the sugar in the recipe to 1/2 cup. I then used Malibu coconut rum, and also a splash of Triple Sec for a hint of orange flavor. Fast and delicious!

These are AWESOME! I made these last year and forgot to rate them. My daughter has been bugging me to make them again. The only thing I did different was, I made them with coconut flavored rum and they came out great! My kids ate them before they were chilled for the time required, there's no way I will be able to keep them in the refridgerator that long in this house!

These were awesome when made with the orange juice! I was looking for a way to make these without the rum and they turned out great! The best way to crush the wafers is in a food processor.

This is a winner! Thank you Leslie! Have made several times for various get togethers and have received raves each time! Use of a blender to powder both the wafers and the nuts (in several small batches) makes this quick to prepare too. Two tips: 1) after blending mixture with spoon, use hands to further blend until dough is evenly moist; 2) use of small metal 1" meatball-shaping tongs produces uniform, perfectly rounded rum balls. Also, the 2-3 days in an airtight container is essential for full flavor.

Very good. I crushed Vanilla Wafers in the blender. Diluted the rum with about 1 or 2 tbsp water, Perhaps could use orange juice to dilute rum.

If I had to sum up this recipe in one word, it would have to be yumyumyummy!! These cookies are not only beautiful, but they taste wonderful. Unlike many holiday confections, the longer they sit, the better they taste! I highly recommend using coconut-flavored rum in this recipe. My boyfriend and I tried two batches--spiced and coconut, and coconut just happens to work and taste better. Thank you for your recipe.

I took these to a cookie exchange party and won most outstanding. I used almonds for the nuts and ground them in a coffee grinder until very fine. Wonderful cookie with no baking!!!
