I used white chocolate and Midori Melon flavored liquer, for "Melon Balls". They're a deliciously different take on rum and bourbon balls.

OMG are these ever good!!! I decided to go with the Bourbon. I coulnd't find Vanilla Wafers anywhere, so I ended up using Aeroroot cookies, and I just crushed them up super fine in my food processor. (worked fine) I'd read a couple people say that they found them grainy, so I melted my chocolate and sugar together in a double boiler. Mine have only sat for 3 days so far, but we just tried them and they are FABULOUS!!!! I'd put quite a bit of finley chopped walnuts in the mixture, so instead of rolling them in nuts, I rolled them in icing sugar. So yummy!!! Thank you for this recipe, it will definetly become a Christmas Tradition now :)

A bit too much rum. It was pretty strong and I couldn't taste the chocolate.

these are super delish! i am not a rum fan but somehow, i was craving these. they were super easy, the most time consuming was rolling them into balls. i left out the nuts, as i did not have them and they still turned out great. i'm making another batch because i may not have enough for my holiday dinner - i can't stay away from them!

I was actually worried because what i thought was a whole box of vanilla wafers was only 1 cup worth of crumbs. I added tea cookie crumbs and added 1 tsp of vanilla to the rum. I also remember people saying that the balls were grainy so I divided the rum and melted the sugar into the rum in the micorwave. This was really very easy although somewhat time consuming. I will definately make these again. Great for gifts.

I made these with brandy and chopped raisins soaked in brandy. The flavor was very good and they were popular at my holiday party. The next time i make them I will use a lesser amount of powdered sugar in place of the regular sugar as the texture remained gritty even after they rippened for a week.

As far as alcohol-laced balls go, this is tasty and very easy. I was surprised that people cut the alcohol - it's not all that much per ball (I got more than 24), and I can't imagine any kids liking this (mine didn't). It definitely is bourbon-y, but that's the point. I did find that the grainy-ness lessened as they sat the full week.

These have a great flavor. Next time I will use confectioners sugar so there is no sugar grit.

These really go faaaaasssst! These rum balls were way too easy to make and very tasty too. I made one batch to see how they came out...and now I am in the process of making about 4 more batches to give out as gifts this Christmas..and maybe even Diwali next year! A few suggestions: 1) Roll the balls in cocoa powder or a mixture of cocoa and icing sugar. Only icing sugar or white sugar makes it too sweet. Rolling the balls in crushed nuts is great too! 2)Add the rum soaked raisins for a richer taste. 3) If the mixture turns out too liquidy, just let it stay in the fridge a bit longer. 4)And yes, bit of alcohol goes a long way.

these are one of the most requested Christmas cookie (or whatever you want to call them) that I make each year. This year, I have 4 boxes of vanilla wafers to make the rum balls out of so I'll have enough to go around!!!

These are great! I used half rum, half egg nog. Once I rolled them into balls I let them sit for a while then placed them into a storage container and drizzled a rum glaze over them. I will have to make another batch or two of these, as my husband and I (already) can't stay out of them. They are SOOO SOOO good! I'm going to give some away to family for sure. Yummy!

I made mine with rum...these are beautiful for gifts. Let them age some...the longer the better...but boy you will be tempted to eat them up before you can get them to that point. Thanks for the recipe!!

Awesome. I used spiced rum, ground walnuts fine in my coffee grinder and rolled the balls in granulated sugar, I think they're prettier that way. Super good. I had no trouble with a grainy taste.
