Ingredients
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs, powdered sugar, pecans, and chopped maraschino cherries. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

Add the corn syrup and dark rum to the mixture. Stir until well combined and the mixture comes together to form a dough-like consistency. If the mixture seems too dry, you can add a little extra corn syrup to help it stick together.
-
Using your hands, roll the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. Place the balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Roll each ball in powdered sugar until fully coated.
-
If desired, top each ball with a small piece of maraschino cherry for a decorative touch.
-
Once all the balls are coated and decorated, refrigerate them for at least 1 hour to allow them to firm up and develop their flavors.
-
Serve these Cherry Rum Balls chilled and enjoy every delicious bite!
