For a richer flavor, use dark rum. Alternatively, spiced rum adds a delightful twist. If the dough is too sticky to roll, add a bit more crushed vanilla wafers or refrigerate for a longer period. These rum balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 week or frozen for up to 1 month. Thaw in the refrigerator before serving. For a non-alcoholic version, substitute the rum with rum extract (start with 1 teaspoon and adjust to taste) or pineapple juice.
