07 Step

Store the finished Coconut Rum Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator. They are best enjoyed after 24 hours, allowing the flavors to fully develop. (Storage time: at least 24 hours)
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.
