Matt's Knock You on Your Ass Rum Balls

Submitted by Matt B

These rum balls are not for the faint of heart.  They are a great baked good for a tailgate, and will knock you down if you eat enough of them. 

Ingredients: 

• 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips 
• 1 cup white (powdered) sugar 
• 3 tablespoons light corn syrup 
• 1/2 cup dark rum
• 2 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs 
• 1 cup chopped walnuts 

Steps:

• Melt chocolate over a double boiler, stirring until smooth. 
• Remove from heat and whisk in 1/2 cup of sugar and the corn syrup, then the rum.  (You can add more rum to suit your needs - if it's too runny, add more powdered sugar and wafer crumbs.)
• In a separate bowl, mix the vanilla wafer crumbs and walnuts. 
• Add the chocolate mixture to the nut mixture and stir until well blended.
• Place the remaining 1/2 cup of sugar in a shallow bowl. 
• Roll the dough into 1 inch balls and roll the balls in the sugar to coat evenly. 
• Cover and refrigerate at least overnight for best flavor. 

This makes about 15-20 balls.  You can double up the recipe to make more.  These can be refrigerated up to 5 days.
