Ingredients:





     1 c  Walnuts, ground or


          - finely chopped


     2 c  Grated "German's sweet" or


          - bittersweet chocolate


 1 1/2 c  Sifted confectioner's sugar


     4 tb Rum


          Cocoa powder






 Combine nuts, sugar, and chocolate. Moisten with rum to form a stiff dough.


 Form into small balls and roll in cocoa to coat.


 


 This recipe is not only simple, it's flexible. It can be made with other


 kinds of liquor (amaretto, sherry, and Southern Comfort work well), nuts


 (almonds or pecans, for instance) and coatings (ground nuts, finely grated


 coconut, etc.) and always comes out tasting great. Adding small chunks of


 nut for texture is also effective. These usually disappear in a hurry.


 


 This is a recipe for rum balls that I got from Monica Fischler in


 Guayaquil, Ecuador in 1974. It's very simple, requires no cooking, and is


 almost impossible to foul up.
