Spiced Rum Balls image

Something of a holiday favorite around our friends and family. In fact, we get pretty competitive about whose balls are the best... The recipe is infinitely customizable. You can substitute vanilla wafers or graham crackers for the ginger snaps, walnuts for the pecans, and/or other liqueurs for the rum, and add spices or cocoa powder to the powdered sugar for extra fun. This is my favorite variant, though. My favorite rum to use in these is Gosling's Black Seal, though Pyrat is not bad. These are easy to make, but really sticky. The recipe makes 24-36, depending on how big your balls are.
