How to Make Lu's Rum Or Bourbon Balls
- Sift together 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder and 1 cup granulated sugar in a medium bowl.
- Add 1 cup crushed gingersnaps, 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans, 1/4 cup unsweetened shredded coconut, 1/4 cup (1/2 stick) unsalted butter, softened, 1/4 cup dark rum or bourbon, and 1-2 tablespoons Karo corn syrup. Mix thoroughly until a workable dough forms. Add more Karo syrup, 1 tablespoon at a time, if needed.
- Shape the mixture into 1-inch diameter balls.
