Cookbook talk:Rum Balls

The ratio of crushed wafers to powdered sugar is way off. It should be about 2.5c of wafers to 1c of powdered sugar. I would also suggest several variations. Soak about 1 - 1 1/2c of Raisins in rum overnight and then chop them up. Use this as a substitute to the corn syrup. Any excess rum can be used as part of the quotient of rum. Use a 50/50 mix of aged rum and a coffee liquor such as Kahlua or Tia Maria. Add mini-chocolate chips, and about 1/8 - 1/4c turkish ground coffee. Any good coffee bean ground to a turkish grind is fine. A turkish grind will be a fine powder. And a final suggestion is use orange marmalade instead of corn syrup, and a 50/50 blend of aged rum and either triple sec or Cointreau. I would also add the mini chocolate chips to this one as well.

Omit the chopped pecans if anyone has an allergy to them. Or add chopped almonds, toasted to enhance their flavor.

If batter is too thin, add some crushed wafers. If batter is to dry, add more liquids sparingly.

A recipe on rum balls without rum?
I find this recipe a bit weird. Of course it could be done and it might taste excellent, but as an example-recipe for rum balls, it just fails. Please put up a recipe for rum balls with rum.
