these are great. i added a leetle more rum than it called for. wet your hands slightly before rolling them into balls - WAY easier and it doesn't stick as much - otherwise you have to keep rinsing your hands after each 3rd or 4th roll.

I get bored using plain old rum/brandy.....try one of these instead: Captain Morgan, Cherry Brandy(can dip in melted chcolate), Irish Cream Liquer, 99 Bananas, Butter Shots, Malibu Coconut Rum(roll in toasted sweetened coconut), Baileys Caramel Temptation Liquer,....there are so many yummy ways to mix up this recipe! I don't use cocoa powder in every recipe either.

Classic and delicious. My only change is to use honey instead of corn syrup. And adjust rum as needed.;-)

Very good. I used reduced fat vanilla wafers and crushed them in the blender. Same with the walnuts but not as fine. Very easy to make and it doesn't heat up the kitchen in the summer! (Even if you do traditionally make these around Christmas time.)

I have used this recipe for years. I melt 12 oz of semi sweet chips in about 1 Tbsp shortening and dip each ball in the mixture. A family favorite

I substituted sweetened condensed milk instead of corn syrup in this recipe, and rolled the rum balls in hundreds and thosands, coconut and crushed peanuts. They turned out great, and the different coatings made for good variety in Christmas gift-giving! :)

I used dark rum in mine. I was told "finally I can taste the rum in a rum ball." What a hit!!! And a great way to use up the extra little bit of rum in the house.

These cookies are AWESOME! They are sooooo easy to make and really good!! I used Myers Dark Rum, and I have to admit that I added a little more than called for in the recipe! What a punch! Thanks so much for this delicious recipe. I may even make them for Valentine's Day since they are so yummy! Try 'em!!!!!! Happy New Year 2008!

I have loved making rum balls since my got the recipe from Barcardi rum back in the late 70s. We always made them for the holidays, until we moved and lost the recipe. This recipe is the closest thing to what I remember. It was super easy and so yummy. I ended up making 3 batches just so I would have 1 batch to take to a party! We couldn't stop eating them as we made them. If you want a non-alcoholic version, my mom used oragne juice in place of the rum. It tastes good and is safe for children.

i subbed honey for corn syrup because it's hard to find 'round these parts (rural japan). it tasted like rum balls i got from the store. however, i realized i don't really like the strong rum taste (duh!!) after i tried one, so i added 1/2 c peanut butter, 1/2 c crushed nuts, and 1 tbsp cocoa powder. i also added some cocoa powder to the powdered sugar for the coating. delicious. thanks!

I used graham crackers in place of the vanilla wafers since that's all I had on hand, and substituted molasses for the corn syrup due to personal preference. They came out great! Thank you for a fast, simple and delicious treat!

Fantastic! Followed the recipe exactly. I tried one when I first made them and then let them sit for 3 weeks. WOW! They are now the best rum balls I've ever had. I did have to roll them in powdered sugar again before taking to friends. But that's just to make them pretty! Thanks so much for the great recipe!

This recipe was amazing! I ended up using pecans instead of walnuts (it's what I had) and it was delicious. Super easy to make and as a not if you let them chill over night instead of an hour they are phenomenal! I only got compliments on them! I cannot wait to try them with different liquers! I also added a wee bit more cocoa.... One other way to do it is 2 cups vanilla wafers and 1/2 cup of oreo crumbs. Again - easy and delicious

These are awesome! I added more Rum too for the heck of it, but talk about no hassle! One you buy the ingredients, you only need to replenish a few of them when you want to make more! I put them in tins and "Merry Christmas hard to buy for family members!"
