    Great with Chocolate Chips

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    First time using this recipe. Easy and excellent. I used light corn syrup instead of dark, which was just fine. And, there... was no need to toast the walnuts; worked just fine the way they were. I also put MINI CHOCOLATE CHIPS in them. It gave them a a little extra crunch and taste. They tasted like chocolate chip cookie dough with a bonus of rum flavor! I ate most of them myself, but what a nice addition to the Christmas cookies I gave away. Just be sure to warn the recipient because you can "feel" the rum. I used Captain Morgan spiced rum. It was delicious. I will definitely make these every year. YUMMY!Read more

    Liquor Balls 3 Ways

    Rated: 5 stars out of 5
    We love these! This year we made them 3 ways for inclusion in our holiday cookie gift tins: 1)Spiced Rum (Cpt Morgan) with... added cinnamon, nutmeg & cardamon 2) Coconut Rum with added shredded coconut mixed into the balls 3) Pecan & Bourbon - no walnuts nor rum, instead used roasted chopped pecans & Makers Mark Bourbon. These are a hit with our crowd... And so fast & easy to make. I roll them in powdered sugar the next day to make them pretty and then store them in the fridge until serving time. Thx foodnetwork for this winning recipe!Read more
