Rum Balls

Written by on in Cookies and Bars

Here is another recipe from my “Christmas Cookie Collection”. These bite size treats are bursting with nuts, rum and gooey goodness and are rolled in powdered sugar. I place each ball into a paper candy cup so the rum doesn’t leach into the other cookies on the tray. I’ve had so many requests through the years for this recipe. I hope you will enjoy them as well.
