Ingredients

  • 1 cup Semi- Sweet Chocolate Chips
  • 1/2 cup White Sugar
  • 3 tbsp Corn Syrup
  • 1/2 cup Rum (or Bourbon/Liqueur)
  • 2-1/2 cups Crushed Vanilla Wafers
  • 1 cup Chopped Walnuts (optional)
  • 1/3 cup Confectioner's Sugar
  • Sprinkles
  • You will need: Double broiler - a pot with 3" of water in it, with another smaller pot or heat-safe bowl that fits completely on top of it. The steam will melt the chocolate without the threat of burning the chocolate.

Preparation

Step 1

Place double boiler on medium heat, and put the chocolate chips in the top pot/bowl. Remove from heat.

Step 2

Stir until melted and smooth. Stir in sugar and syrup. Blend in rum (or liqueur). Add the wafers and nuts. Mix until totally distributed. Cover and refrigerate until firm.

Step 3

Roll the chilled chocolate mixture into bite sized balls. Roll the balls in a mixture of ground nuts and confectioner's sugar, just plain confectioner's sugar, or sprinkles.

Step 4

Store in a covered container for a week before serving to blend the flavours.

Step 5

Enjoy!
