Rum Balls

1. 1

   Toast nuts. Move rack to center of oven and preheat to 350 degrees Farenheit. Put pecans on baking sheet and toast for 8 minutes, until lightly brown and fragrant. Let cool completely and then chop finely.

   Use a food processor to crush vanilla wafers until finely ground

3. 3

5. 5

   Add light corn syrup and rum and mix until combined

6. 6
