My oldest had requested Rum Balls for a vacation and I liked this recipe best. I substituted plain butter cookies for the vanilla wafers because he doesn't like vanilla wafers and they tasted great. I had to roll them in confectioner's sugar four times to get them to stop sticking together which made them a little too sweet for some people.

I made this recipe exactly - except I insured the choc. chips were melted - I received great reviews! In fact, I have been asked by several people for the recipe - which in itself is a compliment. I am making again today for favorite friends! thanks

I used this recipe for the first time last night. It was very easy to do and the rum balls tasted delicious (we had to keep ourselves from eating them all before our holiday party). I will definitely make this again and again.

Made these rum balls over the weekend. I thought the chocolate chips would "melt" or at least soften in the mixture, however, even after a few days you need to be careful about bitting into the ball. My husband swore he chipped a tooth. I will likely try the Cocoa recipes next time to avoid the crunch. I also prefer rolling them in chocolate sprinkles so you don't have to roll them twice. Flavor was good otherwise.

I think it includes far too much corn syrup to make it workable. Unfortunately I didn't know this until I attempted to make a double batch. Out of desperation I tried to save the mess by working in 4 cups of confectioners sugar, but the dough was still far too sticky to manage, even after being chilled.

VERY IMPORTANT: It is much easier to scoop out a dollop of the dough and dump it into a bowl of confectioners sugar and then scoop it out and roll it into a ball. Otherwise I found it was impossible to get enough sugar on my hands to keep it from sticking. VERY TASTY RECIPE THOUGH.
