Rum Balls!!!!

My friend Debbie made these Rum Balls for a get-to-gether we had last week. They are so delicious and she swears they are very easy to make! They do have bit of a punch, so be forewarned and just so you know, the alcohol isn't baked or cooked out. Try 'em, cause they are really delicious!!! Great recipe, Debbie...Thanks So Much!

Chocolate Rum Balls

1 Box (12 ozs.) Vanilla or Chocolate Wafers
1 c. chopped finely nuts (I used pecans)
1 c. confectioners’ sugar (divided)
1 c. semi sweet chocolate chips
½ c. light corn syrup
1/3 c. bourbon or rum (I used ½ c. rum)

In a medium-size mixing bowl, combine crushed wafers, pecans, and 1/2 cup confectioners' sugar; set aside. In a double boiler over simmering water, melt chocolate morsels with corn syrup. I did melted the chocolate chips in the microwave. I placed the chips in a microwave glass dish, and put them in for 20 seconds, stirred and then placed back in for 15 seconds, and then 10 seconds thereafter until they were melted. Add Bourbon or rum; stir until smooth. Pour chocolate mixture over wafer mixture. Stir to combine thoroughly. Shape mixture into 1-inch balls; place on waxed paper.
Place remaining confectioners' sugar in a shallow bowl. Roll balls in confectioners' sugar; place on waxed paper in a container, adding more waxed paper between layers, or place in small paper or foil candy cups. Store in airtight container for about 3 days before serving. Store for up to 2 weeks.Makes 4 dozen. I keep them in the refrigerator.
Have fun and enjoy!
