Rum Balls

[Robert58]

Need recipies for oldtime Rum Balls with nuts in them. Also what is the best rum? I was thinking Bacardi Dark.

For rum balls, I would think that any rum would do.

For good smooth drinking rums:
Baccardi Select is good and readily available
Myers Dark is very good and somewhat available
Appleton comes in various ages and can be good if you like a lighter rum. I like the 12 year Appleton.

I agree - in something like rum balls the flavor of the rum takes back seat to whatever else is in there.

Don't know how "old timey" they are, but here is what Food Network has to offer on a search for rum balls:

All four used walnuts.

Don't laugh... with the wife away for a year, a man has to do what a man has to do...

Thanks,

They all look good. We will give them a try this coming Thanksgiving and Christmas.
