Christmas Rum Balls Or Bourbon Balls
These balls are so quick and easy to make. They make a nice addition to the baked goodies that you give as gifts. Make these about a week before you want to serve them as they mellow and the sharp strong alcohol taste blends in more with the other ingredients. Store in a tin with a tight lid. this year i couldn't find the vanilla wafers so i used chocolate and i like them even more. to form the balls i use two teaspoons as the dough is quite moist. i store them in the freezer - they don't go hard and they are so good ice cold
