Not Your Father's Schweddy Balls
/In my home, the Holiday Season means many wonderful things. It means a home that can be seen from orbit, wrapped in white and red Christmas lights. It means a beautiful Christmas tree, lovingly decorated for my kids. It means a family outing to our hometown Christmas parade, concluding with Santa on a big red firetruck.
The Holiday Season also means yummy, tasty balls.
Hold on there!! Did I just say balls? Well… Yes, I did. I'm talking about rum balls… kahlua balls… amaretto balls. All tasty Holiday treats that I have enjoyed since I was a small boy. They are a true Holiday tradition in my home and I would love to make them a Holiday tradition in your home.
The recipe for these balls is simple and easy. The best part is they are the "no bake" variety which means you get all the flavor and all the alcohol. So... Here is how to make a sack of balls. Select your liquor of choice or get crazy and mix them up in a jungle variety sack.
No Bake Balls:
- 1 to 2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafers.
- 1 to 2 cup confectioners' sugar.
- 1 cup chopped nuts (optional).
- 2 tablespoons cocoa.
- Stir together, then add the following…
- 2 tablespoons corn syrup.
- 1/3 to 1/2 cup of Rum, Kahlua, or Amaretto
- Roll 1 inch balls.
- Roll balls in powered sugar.
- Store in airtight container.
Have a great Holiday Season!! Enjoy my balls!!
