  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup dark rum
  • 1 cup chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
  • 1 cup chocolate sprinkles

Instructions

5 steps

  1. Prepare the Mixture

    In a large mixing bowl, combine crushed chocolate wafers, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder.

    Stir in the dark rum until well combined. If using nuts, fold them in at this stage.

    Adjust rum quantity for desired flavor intensity.
  3. Shape the Balls

    Using your hands, shape the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

    Wet your hands slightly to prevent sticking.
