40 minWhen the holidays roll around, these little rum balls are the secret weapon you didn’t know you needed.
Ground pecans and crushed chocolate wafers form the base, held together with dark rum and a drizzle of honey. No oven, no fuss. Just mix, chill, roll, and you’ve got a hundred bite-sized treats that taste like a grown-up truffle.
A final roll in shredded coconut gives them a snowy finish that looks gorgeous piled high on a platter or tucked into gift boxes.
They keep beautifully in an airtight container, and honestly, they get better after a day or two as the rum mellows and the flavors come together.
Kitchen Tips
- Crush the chocolate wafers in a zip-top bag with a rolling pin for quick, even crumbs
- Chill the mixture for at least 20 minutes so the balls hold their shape when rolling
- Use a small cookie scoop for uniform, professional-looking balls
- Store in the fridge for up to two weeks, or freeze for up to three months
