This recipe is soooo awesome. I cannot make them without everyone I know wanting them. I have had to scale the recipe 8 times, just to have enough to go around. I love them.

These were easy to make and I have never made rum balls before. Tasted great and a big hit. Overheated my blender trying to crush vanilla wafers, so be careful.

I don't do deserts at all because I always find a way to mess them up and I really don't have much of a sweet tooth, but these were easy to make and while a bit sweeter than I'd like, they were pretty d*** good! I finally found something that I can't over/under cook, and that alone is worth 5 stars.

Rum Balls are tradition in Germany during the xmass Holidays. I usually buy them online at a German Store but decided to make them myself this year. Remembering how my grandmother used to make them I took this as a basic reciped using milk chocolate. One week before making the Rum Balls I took 1/2 cup of Raisins (a must in the original rum ball) chopped them up and soaked in the Rum for the week. If you do not like Rum you can also try using Amaretto. Then finished the recipe. The closest thing I found to the original thus far.

I got rave reviews on these and will make again! I doubled the recipe, using the same measurements as below, except instead of 5 cups of vanilla wafers i used 1 whole box (finely ground in the blender, i think it equaled about 3.5 cups) and only 2/3cup of Makers Mark bourbon, and no nuts. I served these after one day they were made, but def. thought the bourbon was stronger after setting/ soaking. A box of these would be a very nice gift.

Loads of praise for these! We used milk chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet and it cut the liquor taste down a bit. Also used only about 1/3 c. of bourbon and it was plenty. Everyone at our party went bonkers over them!

I've made this recipe for the past 4 years and I can't stress to you how POPULAR these rum balls are! I use 151 Rum and usually have to make about 3 to 5 batches for my husband to bring to work. Everyone has dubbed them "Kris' Famous Flaming Rum Balls!" Thanks Elaine for submitting this!

My Aunt and my cousin fought every year over bourbon balls that a friend of the family send over at Christmas. Never have making these candies before I decided to give them each their very own container of them for Christmas. They LOVED them, and they will be recieving them every year from here on after.
