Rum-Bourbon Balls

Submitted by: Sandra Twohie
(From the Washington Post)

  • 1 1/2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafers (about 50 cookies)
  • 1/4 cup dark rum (Sandra uses 1/8 cup dark rum & 1/8 cup bourbon - everyone seems to like that better!)
  • 1/4 cup honey
  • 2 cups finely ground walnuts
  • Confectioners' sugar, for dusting

Combine crumbs, rum, honey and walnuts until thoroughly blended. By hand, shape into balls about 3/4 inch wide. Roll in confectioners' sugar. May be frozen or kept in fridge for a week or two.
