Method
Pulse the vanilla wafers in a food processor until they're fine crumbs, then add the pecans and pulse until finely ground.
Add the 60 g powdered sugar and cocoa and pulse to mix.
Add the corn syrup and rum and pulse until the mixture clumps together and holds when pressed between your fingers.
Roll into 1-inch balls, about 1 heaped tablespoon each; you should get about 24.
Roll each ball in the remaining powdered sugar until well coated. Serve right away or store in an airtight container.
Tips
- They're ready to eat right away. If you chill them for an hour or two they firm up and the rum flavor mellows, but it isn't required.
- These are made with uncooked rum, so they're for adults only. For a kid version, swap the rum for orange juice plus 1/2 teaspoon rum extract.
- If the mixture is too dry to hold, add more rum a teaspoon at a time; too sticky, pulse in a few more wafer crumbs.
