Rumballs to get your office drunk!

Here's a fun recipe for you:  Saf's Diabolical Rumballs.


4 cups graham cracker crumbs
1 cup sweetened cocoa (I use Ghirardelli)
honey
1 cup crushed walnuts (I don't use these at all)
1 cup rum (I use 151   but you can use regular)
1/2 cup bourbon
powdered sugar to coat


Combine all ingredients in a large bowl until all wet and mushy.  Use more honey for taste, more rum for consistency.  Form into balls (this stuff will coat your hands, so beware!  Roll the balls in powdered sugar.  Eat.  Do not operate heavy machinery.

Will keep at least 2 weeks in the fridge.

I send these to work with my hubby and his whole office gets buzzed.  (Seriously...look at the alcohol in these things!)  They have them before lunch and by 5 are fine to drive home again, so it works well.  I say, what's the point of a rumball if it isn't like doing a shot??

Enjoy!

I make a Bundt rum cake with an entire bottle of Bacardi, between the cake and the SAUCE...

 Ta sounds yummy :)My great aunt used to make rum balls but they didnt have much rum in them   LOL

 I have tasted some rum balls though that would knock your socks off  

Are Rumballs the same as what we call rum truffles here in the Uke?  Like chocolate spheres covered in grated chocolate which (if they're made like my Joss makes 'em) have a kick like a mule?

 Uh huh  Howard sounds about the same to me,except I never had grated chocolate on mine boo hoo :'( LOL

Just thought I would "bump this up" to share the recipe again, it being close to the Big Drinking Holidays.  I just got a request from hubby's job yesterday to make sure they get these again this year so figured it was a good time.

Ooh I'll definitely give those a go! Sounds like something that I could bring to Jamie's family Boxing Day thingy - though more alcohol at that may NOT be just what the doctor ordered, LOL!

One question - I've never looked for graham crackers over here. Are they widely available? I think maybe I've seen digestives as a substitute - is that right?

Digestives would be fine, or Nilla wafers.  Any plain cookie/cracker, really.

These are good. I've used this recipe (or one very similar) before and everyone loved them. I also made some using coconut rum and substituted shredded coconut for half the walnuts and they were yum.
