Ingredients
-
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
-
1 cup confectioners' sugar (150g)
-
3 cups vanilla wafers, crushed (Crush vanilla biscuits and use if you dont get vanilla wafers, 300g)
-
4 tablespoons dark corn syrup or 4 tablespoons golden syrup
-
1/2 cup dark rum (more or less, depending on personal tastes)
-
extra cocoa or ground chocolate, to roll the rum balls in
Instructions
- In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa and confectioners' sugar.
- In a food processor or blender crush/crumble the vanilla wafers.
- Add the crushed vanilla wafers to the sugar mixture and combine.
- Add the remaining ingredients.
- Form the mixture into 1 inch (2. 5 cm) balls with your hands.
- The balls should hold together easily and retain their shape.
- If the mixture is too dry to hold together or too wet to form balls, you can easily adjust the consistency by adding rum/sugar accordingly.
- Sprinkle the extra cocoa or ground chocolate on a flat surface and roll the balls in to coat.
- Have 'em on your cookie tray this year and watch 'em vanish before you know it!
