NO-BAKE RUM BALLS

MAKES 2-3 DOZEN

We got this recipe years ago from a very good friend, Russell Evans. Russell moved to Germany in the 1960's and we lost touch. He was an entertainer and I understand he made it to German television. Russell, wherever you are, you have never been forgotten and neither has this recipe which you fondly called an "anointed thing".

INGREDIENTS

1 cup crushed vanilla wafers

1 cup confectioner's sugar

1 cup chopped pecans

2 teaspoons unsweetened cocoa

2 tablespoons light corn syrup

1/4 cup rum

Additional confectioner's sugar for coating

Mix together all ingredients. Roll into 1-inch balls. Roll in the additional confectioner's sugar. Cookies are best if made several days before serving. Store in a cool place in an airtight container.
