Aunt Vi ’s Rum Balls

"My husband's Aunt Vi was a fabulous cook. If there was anything guaranteed at Christmas, it was her potent rumballs. These do pack a punch. This is one treat that's 'Adults Only'. I'm very happy to be able to carry on the tradition."

  1. These taste great! I made them for hubby, and I'm sure he's going to love them. I will make them again, but I think next time I will roll them in chocolate splinters, as they keep going sticky, no matter how many rolls they get in icing sugar. Great recipe, thabks for sharing!
