Chocolate Cranberry Rum Balls

"Have a photocopy of a page from a cookbook, unfortunately not sure where it came from. This is what the recipe description says: "These say Merry Christmas through and through - a special treat made just for you!" These rum balls made a great gift to family last Christmas, they are definitively worth sharing (plan to do it every year). As with most, these rum balls are best if let mellow for a few days, otherwise the rum flavor is overpowering."

Because only five star reviews make no sense, and are not helpful if not sincere, I try to write honest and, as much as I can, fair reviews. So I came up with some "weights" for the stars and this is what they mean in my reviews: <b>5 Stars</b> = an excellent amazing recipe, the kind of dish that I would recommend to others, make again and again, and would not be ashamed to make for anybody. Basically, these are the recipes that would get 6 Stars if there were that many to give. <b>4 Stars</b> = a great dish! Just not the amazing great that is unforgettable and you would make for somebody as a special gift or a Thank You... <b>3 Stars</b> = a good recipe. If it's an easy simple recipe I would make it again for convenience, but would not do it often. Also, these are sometimes the recipes that I would substantially change the next time. <b>2 Stars</b> = edible, but just didn't work for us. Something is missing and with all other recipes out there would not make this again. <b>1 Star</b> = I am not sure what this would be. I imagine I am saving 1 Star for something that is inedible... I once made a horrible eggplant cheese casserole that we decided to throw out after just one bite. We did not even try to see if the dog would like it... Well, THAT was a 1 Star easily!
