How to Make Aunt Vi S Rum Balls

1. In a large bowl, combine graham cracker crumbs, cocoa powder, and powdered sugar.
2. Add the softened butter and mix until well combined.
3. Stir in the rum and vanilla extract until a dough forms.
4. Cover the bowl and refrigerate the dough for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld. This step is crucial!
5. Once chilled, roll the dough into 1-inch balls.
6. Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave (be careful not to burn!).
7. Dip each rum ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring they are fully coated.
8. Place the chocolate-covered rum balls on wax paper to allow the chocolate to set.
9. Optional: Decorate with chopped nuts or sprinkles while the chocolate is still wet.
10. Once the chocolate has hardened (about 30 minutes), store the rum balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Enjoy responsibly!
