Ingredients

▢ 300 g Biscoff Cookies or Vanilla wafers
▢ 150 g Pecans
▢ 90 g Confectioners Sugar Plus more for dusting
▢ 2 tablespoon Cocoa Powder Plus more for dusting
▢ ½ teaspoon Salt
▢ 100 ml Spiced Rum
▢ 2 tablespoon Honey or Corn syrup

Instructions

Crush the Vanilla waffers or Biscoff cookies into fine crumbs with a food processor and transfer them to a large bowl.
Put the pecans in a food processor and grind them into crumbs. Then, place them with the crushed Biscoff cookies in a large bowl.
Sift the confectioners' sugar, and cocoa powder, over the cookie mixture. Add salt to the cookie mixture, and mix all ingredients until well combined.
Whisk the rum with the honey or corn syrup in a small bowl until smooth. Pour this mixture over the dry ingredients and fold everything together with a spatula until fully combined and evenly coated. Scoop a tablespoon of the mixture (about 20g) and roll it into a ball.
Set up four small bowls for the coatings: one with icing sugar, one with cocoa powder, and two with sprinkles. Roll each rum ball in your chosen coating, then place it in a mini baking cup. Repeat until all the dough is used. Once coated, place the rum balls in the refrigerator to chill for at least 1-2 hours, allowing them to firm up and the flavors to meld.
Once chilled, your rum balls are ready to enjoy! Serve them as a sweet treat for parties, holidays, or as a delightful homemade gift.

Notes

Balance the Liquids: I like to adjust the rum and honey as I mix, just a little at a time, until the texture feels perfectly sticky and easy to roll.
