My family loved this recipe. We will make it for Christmas next year. I used 1/2 c. dark rum. It was not too strong.

A great variation for rum balls! I make a few changes to the listed recipe, however. I prefer to toast the coconut before I roll the balls in it- YUM! I also add about 1/8 cup more rum (coconut flavored), otherwise the coconut flavor completely masks the rum flavor.

These were easy to make and were good. I liked them but they were not a huge hit at our family dinner. Not sure if I will make them again.

These didn't turn out well at all. They were too strong and everyone at work was getting buzzed off them. I guess that could be good if you are looking to get your guests tipsy, but I didn't like them.

My mother used to make something similar to these when I was young, but she now has arthritis and can't bake for the holidays. She was so excited to taste these, she thought I found her recipe! (In THAT kitchen?? Not a chance.) Thanks, you made her Christmas! Will definitely make again, especially since they store well for so long, and improve in flavor over time.

Perfect! These have the perfect amount of coconut and rum - nothing overpowers the other. I didn't have time to roll the balls after I mixed them, so it stayed in the the refrigerator for 24 hours. They rolled great! I couldn't stop sneaking tastes! I can't wait to give them out as gifts!

My husband had these on a cruise a few years back and we've been searching for this recipe ever since! I don't care for nuts, so I substituted and extra 1/2 cup crushed wafers and 1/2 cup coconut. They turned out great!

This was my first time making rum balls and it was SO EASY! I served this as part of the desert plate at christmas dinner and my guests really cleaned up. Will definitely make again.

This was the 1st time I ever made rum balls, and these were EXCELLENT. They were so easy to make and just tasted amazing, the absolute perfect amount of "rum taste". Like the last reviewer mentioned, after rolling a few, your hands get very sticky so just make sure to have something to wipe them off with nearby and you're all set.

This was my second time making rum balls, the first time I made chocolate ones. These coconut rum balls tasted sooooo good and were very easy to make. I used crushed almonds instead of walnuts because I can't stand walnuts, and they turned out great. I made them a week ahead and put them in tin cans, made EXCELLENT Christmas gifts and stored well in the fridge. The only problem was after you roll a few balls, your hands get very sticky, so have a spoon nearby to scrape the sticky stuff off your hands after rolling a some balls!!
