For an even more intense rum flavor, consider soaking the cookie crumbs in the rum for about 30 minutes before adding them to the chocolate mixture. If you prefer a less intense chocolate flavor, you can substitute milk chocolate chips for the semi-sweet chocolate. Store rum balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. They may become even more flavorful over time!
