📝 Preparation Steps
1
Make the Rum Balls
2
Grind the Nilla Wafers into a fine crumb using a food processor or blender. Then add the walnuts and pulse until they are finely chopped. Add the cocoa powder and salt and pulse to combine. ‘
3
In a separate, heat-proof bowl, melt the chocolate chips in the microwave at 50% power for ⏱️ 30-45 seconds at a time, stirring each time until completely melted. Stir the rum, corn syrup and vanilla into the melted chocolate and mix until well combined.
4
Pour the dry mixture into the wet mixture and stir until well combined. Refrigerate for ⏱️ 30 minutes. If you find the mixture is crumbly, allow it to soften at room temperature for another ⏱️ 10-15 minutes.
5
Use a small-size cookie scoop (about 2 teaspoons) to scoop the balls and place them on the baking sheet. Roll each one between your hands to form a ball.
6
Coat the Truffles
7
Cocoa powder coating: Roll each rum ball in a bowl of cocoa powder.
8
For the chocolate coating: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate wafers at 50% power in 30-second intervals; stir after each interval and continue until the chocolate is melted. Reduce microwave time as needed so the chocolate does not burn.
