Cocoa Rum Balls

1 (12 ounce) package vanilla wafers, crushed

1 ½ cups chopped nuts

¾ cup confectioners sugar

¼ cup cocoa

½ cup light rum

3 tablespoons light corn syrup

⅛ cup confectioners sugar

In a large bowl, combine vanilla wafer crumbs, chopped nuts, 3/4 cup confectioners sugar, and cocoa. Mix in rum and corn syrup. Shape dough into 1 inch balls; roll in confectioners sugar.

Store rum balls in an airtight container for 2 to 3 days to develop flavor. Roll them again in confectioners sugar before serving.
