Hunk of Burnin’ Love Rum Balls

    My boss’s wife has a tradition of making rum
balls each Christmas. They are her signature item and they are delicious. Some
have a truffle center others have liqueur soaked cherry centers. She makes them
in three strengths ranging from Kahlua or Cointreau to Bacardi 151. They are
always a hit at the company Christmas Party and my husband instantly fell in
love with them.

    I was lucky enough to have her invite me
over for a rum ball making tutorial. We had so much fun making a couple of
batches of delicious rum balls.

     So these are a very rough approximation
of her rum balls. I didn’t make the truffle or cherry centers this time, but
they really do take them to the next level. One of these times I am going to
have to do them that way too!

    Here’s the thing about my husband, he loves for his food to
bite back. If we go out for wings, he has to order at least 6 of the hottest
ones on the menu. The whole time he tells us how good they are his face is
red and he’s crying.

“It’s fun” he says while nothing about it looks fun.

“I’m
fine” he says as I hold on to the phone ready to call 911 when he falls
over.

I used to help him eat those Blazin’ wings, but my heat tolerance has faded a
bit over the years and I have no interest in torturing myself! Of course when
I made
Jess’s Tailgate Queso, he had to stir in a little of Pops’ homemade habanero sauce. 

     He looked quite pleased with himself and
his treat. We didn’t win the trivia night, but I think I might have won a
little extra piece of his heart!

How To Make Super Simple Rum Ballshttps://youtu.be/O-h5IgpzKLISometimes a quick and simple treat is in order. Luckily these rum
balls are just that thing. They are best when made a few days in
advance, but they require very little work and no time in the oven. So
they are perfect when the holiday baking season is in full swing and
the cookie trays are filling up faster than the oven can cook
them.https://cookingwithcarlee.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/01/rum2Bball2Bthumb.jpg2020-12-04

Hunk of Burnin’ Love Rum Balls

These sweet little rum balls will make you feel the burn! Perfect

Prep time: 25 Mininactive time: 30 MinTotal time: 55 Min

Ingredients

• 12 oz box of vanilla wafers

Instructions

1. Process your vanilla wafers into crumbs in your food processor.

   do a variety of sizes, larger for folks like my husband and a few
   smaller ones for people who just want to give them a try.
3. Refrigerate for at least a half hour.
4. When ready to dip, prepare your chocolate by melting and tempering
   it.
5. Dip balls and decorate if desired.
6. They may be eaten as soon as they are set, but they are better if
   you give them a few days to let the flavors really come together.
   Store in an airtight container at room temperature.
