Vanilla Rum Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup confectioners' sugar (150g)
3 cups vanilla wafers, crushed (Crush vanilla biscuits and use if you dont get vanilla wafers, 300g)
4 tablespoons dark corn syrup or 4 tablespoons golden syrup
1/2 cup dark rum (more or less, depending on personal tastes)
extra cocoa or ground chocolate, to roll the rum balls in

Preparation

In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa and confectioners' sugar.
In a food processor or blender crush/crumble the vanilla wafers.
Add the crushed vanilla wafers to the sugar mixture and combine.
Add the remaining ingredients.
Form the mixture into 1 inch (2. 5 cm) balls with your hands.
The balls should hold together easily and retain their shape.
If the mixture is too dry to hold together or too wet to form balls, you can easily adjust the consistency by adding rum/sugar accordingly.
Sprinkle the extra cocoa or ground chocolate on a flat surface and roll the balls in to coat.
Have 'em on your cookie tray this year and watch 'em vanish before you know it!
