Does anyone know how to make chocolate rum balls? We had them before and they were so good. Thanks for your help.

Booze Balls
They sound intoxicating, but rest assured, the rich, chocolatey flavor is the only thing certain to put you over the legal limit +Prep time: 1 hourCook time: 1 day Ease of preparation: Easy
Ingredients
1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
20 chocolate wafer cookies (about half a 9-ounce box)
1/2 cup finely chopped pitted prunes (about 15 prunes)
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup bourbon or 1/3 to 1/2 cup brandy
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar, or colored decorating sugars, for garnish Instructions Put chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on medium power for a minute. Stir and repeat until the chocolate melts, about 3 minutes total depending on the power of your microwave. Next, put the melted chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with one inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan (without touching the water). Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.

RUM BALLS
Mix: 1/3 c. powdered sugar 1/3 c. rum 3 T. corn syrup
1 T. oleo 1 c. melted semi-sweet chocolate chips
Stir in 2-1/2 c. vanilla wafer crums, and 1 c. chopped nuts - shape into balls. Roll in: 2 T. cocoa and 3 T. sugar, mixed.
The recipe I use is from Mr. Food December 1999.
1 package (11 ounces) chocolate wafer cookies, finely crushed (I use the food processor)
1 1/2 cups finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup light or dark rum
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
In a large bowl, combine the crushed cookies and pecans; mix well. Stir in the corn syrup (I've found it's better to pour in a little, stir, then pour in more - it needs to be firm enough to hold in a ball.). Stir in rum until thoroughly combined. Place the confectioners sugar in a shallow dish. Roll the cookie mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll in the confectioners sugar until completely coated.
Serve, or store in an airtight container at room temperature until ready to serve. NOTE: These tend to absorb much of the confectioners sugar right after coating, so be sure to coat them heavily.
You might even want to coat them again just before serving. (I have found they actually have a better flavor the next day after the flavors have melded together.) These chocolate wafers are made by Nabisco and are thin cookies like lemon wafers used to be, no filling. Enjoy!
