Chocolate Orange Rum Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients

2 (16 ounce) boxes vanilla wafers, crushed
2 teaspoons cocoa powder
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups walnuts, chopped
1/2 cup Bacardi O rum (Orange Flavored Rum)
extra rum, to taste (optional)
powdered sugar, for coating

Preparation

Mix all dry ingredients and set aside in big bowl.
Mix corn syrup, and rum together.
Pour wet ingredients into dry and mix well with a fork.
Let stand for 2 hours.
If you like your rum balls super\"rummy\" you can add 1/2 cup more at this point and let it sit again for 2 hours.
You can repeat the adding rum and waiting 2 hour step till it suits your taste.
There is a good midpoint where the mix is not too wet and not too dry.
Rolling the 1\" balls should not be a sticky (too wet) or crumbly (too dry) task.
Roll into balls and then roll in powdered sugar to coat.
Store in sealed container.
