Boozy Chocolate Balls

In a food processor finely chop walnuts and coconut. Pour into a mixing bowl.

Finely chop 1 package worth of chocolate wafers in food processor. I use Nabisco’s wafers. Transfer to the mixing bowl with nut mix. Note: If you can’t find chocolate wafers, you can use about 2 cups of vanilla wafer crumbs plus 2 Tablespoons of cocoa powder.

Add about 1 cup confectioner’s sugar, 1/2 teaspoon allspice, a dash of nutmeg, light corn syrup and about 1/2 cup rum – dark or light or whatever is languishing in your liquor cabinet from last summer’s cocktails.

Mix until combined. It should be very moist. Chill bowl for 30 minutes in the fridge and when mixture has firmed up, roll out 1 inch balls.

Pour out about 1/2 cup of confectioner’s sugar in a small bowl. Roll each ball in sugar. Set on cookie sheet to rest – store in fridge or freezer until ready to serve. They get better over time.
