Ingredients
-
-
1 1/4 cups crushed round vanilla wafers or 1 1/4 cups round toddler vanilla wafers
-
25 whole round vanilla wafers
-
1 1/4 cups powdered sugar
-
7 tablespoons soft room temp butter
-
2 tablespoons rum
-
2 tablespoons water
-
2 tablespoons cocoa (Hershey's pure baking cocoa)
-
-
5 1/2 tablespoons soft room temp butter
-
3/4 cup powdered sugar
Instructions
- Set the 25 whole vanilla wafers aside.
- Crush enough vanilla wafers, in a medium sized bowl, to make 1 1/4 cups of a rough"flour".
- Add powdered sugar, butter, rum, water, and cocoa.
- Mix ingredients.
- In a small bowl mix filling ingredients together.
- Dust the inside of the bee hive form with powdered sugar, then press in a small ball of dough.
- Make a hole in the dough with your finger or end of a wooden spoon.
- Add enough filling to the hole, with a spoon, to fill the cavity.
- Carefully tap the hive out of the form and set it atop a whole vanilla wafer.
- You must experiment to find out how much powdered sugar one needs to dust the form with, so that the hive slips out easily.
- If you have no bee hive form, use an empty chamber from a grocery store cardboard egg carton.
- Store in a cool place, remembering you have raw egg in the filling.
