Ingredients

1 (11-ounce) box of vanilla wafers
1 ¼ cup powdered sugar
2 ½ tablespoons cocoa powder
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
½ cup spiced rum
powdered sugar, for rolling
cocoa powder, for rolling

Instructions

Add the 1 (11-ounce) box of vanilla wafers to a food processor and pulse until you have crumbs.
Add 1 ¼ cup powdered sugar, 2 ½ tablespoons cocoa powder, 1 pinch salt, and 2 tablespoons light corn syrup. Pulse until combined.
Add ½ cup spiced rum and mix until combined. The dough should come together if pinched and formed into a ball and should not fall apart.
Scoop out tablespoons of dough and roll into balls. To coat the balls, add powdered sugar, or cocoa powder, in a small sheet pan or pie dish. Add the balls and shake gently until completely coated.
If desired, place the finished balls in mini cupcake liners. Store in an airtight container until you are ready to serve them.
