Joyous Rum Balls

1. 1

   in a large non metal mixing bowl with a wooden spoon:

2. 2

   mix the smashed nilla wafers with the turbinado sugar and the rum.

3. 3

   incorporate the caro light corn syrup.

4. 4

   incorporate the melted semisweet chocolate chips.

5. 5

   let the mixture cool to a workable consistency

6. 6

   line a jelly roll tray with parchment, put your surgical gloves on to start rolling the rum balls about 1 tsp in size - or slightly smaller than a doughnut hole.

7. 7

   As you roll the rum balls up (slightly smaller than a doughnut hole)~~

8. 8

   Roll them in a tray of coconut flakes and chopped almonds (I love the trader joe's sesame honey almonds), or you can embed a whole almond on the rum ball and roll in powdered sugar and coconut flakes. Either way is quite tasty.

9. 9

   Place rum balls on the parchment and let set up for a little while - you can refrigerate them.
