Rum Balls Delish
Hey there, beautiful human! So, you’ve stumbled upon this wee gem of a recipe — Rum Balls Delish. Now, I know what you’re thinking… are these little bites of delight worth it? Well, let me tell ya, they’re balls of boozy bliss that’ll jazz up any occasion. Perfect for holiday get-togethers or, you know, a random Tuesday because why not? They’re ridiculously easy, no-bake, and a little bit fancy — just grab a drink and a couple of these guys, and you’re winning at life.
Now, here’s a little nugget from my own kitchen chaos. These rum balls are like little nuggets of joy that took my household by storm. My husband devours them like they’re the last bits of chocolate on Earth. Seriously, he says these are his best discovery since binge-watching the newest season of that zombie show. Our kids, well, let’s just say they have a new reason to love holidays (you know, that rum-free batch I make just for them). It’s now a full-on tradition in our house to whip these up for every festive occasion or whenever we need a little extra happiness in the form of dessert.

How to Make It
Oh, making these is easy-peasy. Picture me chatting wildly in my kitchen as I toss ingredients haphazardly into my favorite mixing bowl. First thing, you’re gonna wanna crush those cookies—like you’re releasing the frustration of all those emails you ignored. Chuck ’em in a ziplock bag and give ’em a hammering. Next, blend the crumbs with cocoa powder, and more importantly, that magic we call rum. Mix it up till it’s a beautiful sticky mess. Roll ’em into balls like you’re shaping tiny planets in your palms. Finally, coat them with sprinkles if you’re feeling extra fancy – sprinkles make everything better, trust me. You can also just pop them in the fridge so they can think about their deliciousness for a bit before you dive in.
Ingredient Notes
– Rum: This is the star of the show, the Beyoncé of our rum balls. If in doubt, dance it out.
– Chocolate Cookies: Turning them to crumbs is half the fun—imagine you’re Godzilla. Just don’t crush your phone while you’re at it.
– Cocoa Powder: Brings that chocolatey goodness. Once, I skimped thinking it’d be fine and it turned out…less fine.
Recipe Steps:
1. Crush cookies into crumbs using a sealed bag and a rolling pin.
2. Combine crumbs with cocoa powder and mix in the rum.
3. Roll the mixture into small balls.
4. Coat with sprinkles or leave plain.
5. Chill the balls in the fridge for a bit before serving.
What to Serve It With
Rum balls can really hang with any drink situation — coffees, teas, or a cheeky cocktail. Or go rogue and serve with a side of your favorite ice cream. The world’s your oyster, darling!
Tips & Mistakes
– Tip: If you like a kick, a lil’ extra rum goes a long way. Don’t ask how I know.
– Mistake: Ever tried making these in a rush? Me too. It’s not worth the crushed cookies spiraling everywhere.
Storage Tips
Pop these bad boys in an airtight container in the fridge. They’ll keep for a week, but good luck making them last that long. Eating them cold is a revelation, and if they happen to become breakfast material, I will say nothing.
Variations and Substitutions
Substitutions are the spice of life. Swap the rum for bourbon if you’re feeling wild, or sub some honey if you’re all out of sugar. I’ve even skipped the sprinkles and used powdered sugar — didn’t hear complaints. And if you ever find yourself without cookies (crisis!), go ahead and crush up some graham crackers. Have fun!
