However, if you want a more subtle rum flavor then you might prefer the light rum. I’ve made them with both varieties, and I think the Gold is much better, it really gives you that intense rum flavor. I like to use Gold Rum, if you use lighter rum it has a milder flavor. Powdered sugar is used in the recipe and regular granulated white sugar is used on the outside of the balls.Ĭhocolate Chips (Semi-sweet) – Bittersweet chocolate is best for this recipe so regular chocolate chips (any brand) work.Ĭorn Syrup – You can usually find this near the pancake syrup although it might be in the baking area of some stores. Rum – I use Bacardi dark but any rum will work, light, spiced, coconut… there are so many options, try whatever sounds good to you. Pecans – I like to buy nuts in the produce department at the grocery store, they’re always on sale around the holidays and usually fresher (Georgia pecans). Vanilla Wafers – Any brand is fine, they come in 11 ounce packages (like the recipe calls for). One more thing, the Dollar Tree is a great place to get cute little cookie tins to seal them up nice and tight. I like to give them at least 3 days, so make these guys ahead of time. The longer they season, the stronger the flavor will be. The intensity of the flavor depends on how long you let them “season” (fancy way of saying, “sit in a tightly sealed container for several days). Since these will not be baked they will retain all of the alcohol added…therefore they can be potent! Why is this important? When recipes that contain alcohol are cooked or baked, some of the alcohol will “burn” out. Word of caution: you may start something… I have my regulars who demand their chocolate rum balls every year! That being said, these are a holiday favorite in our house, and if you bring them anywhere… they will be requested from then on!Īlso, because they’re no bake, the rum does not cook out. They’re so much better than store bought! These are one of my favorites to share, probably because they’re something you can’t buy just anywhere and yet really easy to make! I love to give homemade baked goods as gifts at Christmas time. Rum balls are amazing already but the addition of chocolate takes the rum ball to a whole new level. This recipe for Chocolate Rum Balls is sure to become a holiday tradition! It’s super easy, no-bake and contains chocolate and rum.
