Dottie's Rum Ball Cookies

1 cup Vanilla wafer crumbs
1 cup Pecans, finely chopped
1 cup Powdered Sugar
2 T. Cocoa
1/4 cup Rum (I'm may try Rum Extract but use less?)
1 and 1/2 T. Light Corn Syrup

Mix crumbs with sugar, pecans and cocoa. Stir in rum and corn syrup. Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll in powdered sugar, regular sugar, nuts or coconut. Store in tightly covered container. Allow to ripen a few days for flavors to mix. Makes about 2 dozen.

Jane: I haven't made these for years. I have a couple other Rum Ball recipes that use more crumbs so if this one is too sticky to roll, add more crumbs. I may try rum extract bc I use it in "Rum and Coke" drinks and it tastes almost the same as the real thing.
