These delightful no-bake treats are perfect for any festive occasion, combining the rich flavors of rum and cocoa with a nutty crunch.
Combine the crushed vanilla wafers, powdered sugar, chopped pecans, cocoa powder, corn syrup, and rum in a large mixing bowl.
Ensure the mixture is evenly combined for consistent flavor in every bite.
Shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
Use slightly damp hands to prevent sticking while shaping the balls.
Roll each ball in granulated sugar to coat evenly.
For a festive touch, use colored sugar or sprinkles.
Store the balls in an airtight container at room temperature.
Let the balls rest for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together.
