Vanilla wafer crumbs get mixed with coconut, chopped nuts, sweet cherries, corn syrup, and a generous pour of dark rum (or rum extract if you’re keeping things family-friendly).
Roll them into one-inch balls, dust with powdered sugar, and you’re done. That’s it. No baking, no fuss, no sweat.
This recipe makes about 100, so it’s perfectly scaled for gifting, potlucks, or stashing in the freezer for when company drops by.
Pro Tips
- Drain the cherries thoroughly and pat dry; excess moisture makes the balls crumbly
- Chill the mixture for 20 minutes if it feels too soft to shape
- Roll in powdered sugar twice for a thicker, snowier coating
- Store in an airtight container with parchment between layers; these keep for up to two weeks in the fridge
Ingredients
