Rum Balls

A delightful treat for any holiday, gathering, or Thursday night in, this recipe for rum balls couldn't be simpler.

Ingredients:

- 1 box brownie mix (plus required ingredients to make the brownies)
- 1/2 cup nuts, I like walnuts
- 3 Tbsp rum

Directions:

1. Bake your brownies according to directions on the box.

2. When brownies come out of the oven, rake them with a fork until all broken up and crumbled. Put these brownies into a bowl with a lid and place in the fridge for a bit. Go do something else and come back in an hour or so.

3. After brownies have cooled off plenty, add 3 Tbsp of rum. Then you can mix thoroughly with your hands or a kitchen instrument.

4. Chop a handful of nuts until fine. As needed, chop more to go with remaining brownies.

5. Shape brownie/rum mixture into small balls and then roll them in the nuts.

Voila! You have a rich chocolate dessert that is irresistible. Let the finished product hang out in the fridge a little longer if the rum flavor is too intense. They mellow out after resting for a bit.
