Ingredients
- 2 cups crushed graham crackers
- 1 cup sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/3 cup dark rum
- 1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 cup extra sweetened shredded coconut (for rolling)
Directions
Step 1
In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, 1 cup of sweetened shredded coconut, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir until well mixed.
Step 2
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the dark rum, sweetened condensed milk, and vanilla extract until smooth.
Step 3
Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until the dough comes together and is sticky but holds its shape.
Step 4
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out small portions of the dough and roll them into balls using your hands.
Step 5
Roll each ball in the extra sweetened shredded coconut until fully coated.
Step 6
Place the finished rum balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet or plate.
Step 7
Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld and the balls to firm up.
Step 8
Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
