I make this every Christmas and usually give them as gifts. They are an easy, no-bake treat and taste wonderful! Substitute orange juice for the non-alcoholic version of this.

THE BEST OREO® RUM BALLS

The Best Oreo® Rum Balls image

I received this easy, no-bake recipe 30 years ago, and I have yet to taste a better rum ball! It is best made with 151 proof rum (buy a smaller bottle so as not to spend so much) and Oreo® cookies, with the cream scraped out. The Oreo cookie crumbs make the best tasting chocolate wafer crumbs. Enjoy!
