Equipment

Cuisinart 11-Cup Food Processor, Brushed Stainless

Ingredients

11 oz vanilla wafer cookies 1 box
1 cup walnuts toasted
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup rum I used dark
2 tbsp. light corn syrup
1/2 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. ground allspice
1 lb. white chocolate candy wafers
sprinkles for garnish

Instructions

In the bowl of a food processor, combine wafer cookies and walnuts. Process until finely ground. Set aside.
In a large bowl - sift together powdered sugar, salt and allspice.
Stir in rum and corn syrup.
Add cookie and nut mixture, stir until well combined.
Chill mixture for 30 mins.
Scoop tablespoon portions using small cookie scoop and roll into balls. Place on baking sheet or plate.
Melt white chocolate wafers in microwave according to package directions. (I melt them in a glass measuring cup)
Using a skewer or candy fork, dip in white chocolate and place on parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle if desired and leave on counter for chocolate to set on rum balls. Refrigerate if needed.

Notes

How to toast nuts:

Preheat oven to 325°F. Place walnuts on a baking sheet in a single layer and toast in the oven for 8 - 10 minutes until fragrant.

FOOD PROCESSOR:

I have an 11 cup food processor and am able to do the recipe in one batch. If yours is smaller, you'll need to split it into two batches.
