I just couldn’t leave the good old rum ball alone!! 

Although in my defense, every simplified recipe that I’ve seen uses Vanilla Wafers!  As fabulous as they are, especially dunked in milk,  I just don’t see them as a festive holiday-ish treat! 

While I was at it..I rolled them in toasted Coconut, instead of cocoa/sugar. I’m such a rebel..lol!

From now on my Vanilla Wafers are staying in my milk..because the combination of spicy Gingerbread Cookies, with the Coconut and Rum are to die for! 
If you have any doubt, make a batch of both versions and have a little taste test.  With all that Rum..it would be good times! 🙂

So simple!!

? What you’ll need:
*Keep in mind: these amounts have many variables, so use my portions as a guide. The balls are based on size/consistency..so adjustments to the wet/dry measurements are necessary! 
Just have a couple of sips of the Rum and you won’t care! 😉

~Malibu Rum. (Approx. 1 cup)
