Are you looking for a unique dessert to serve at your next gathering or party? Look no further than rum balls made with vanilla wafers! These bite-sized treats are easy to make and pack a big punch of flavor. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of making these delicious rum balls.

To start, preheat your oven to 350°F (180°C). Line a baking sheet with wax or parchment paper and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of powdered sugar, 3 tablespoons of cocoa powder, corn syrup, and rum. Add the vanilla wafers back into the food processor with the pecans and process until they are finely ground.

Roll each chilled rum ball into the powdered sugar, covering each one completely. Place the balls on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow them to firm up.

Once the rum balls have firmed up, it's time to melt some chocolate in the microwave. Stir sifted powered sugar into the chocolate until well combined. Dip each rum ball into the melted chocolate, coating completely. Place the coated rum balls on a piece of parchment paper or a silicone mat.

Refrigerate the rum balls for at least 30 minutes to allow the chocolate to set. Serve chilled and enjoy!
