Things You'll Need:
- 1/2 cup shredded coconut
- 10 Weetabix biscuits
- 1 10 ounce can of sweetened condensed milk
- 1/4 cup natural cocoa powder
- Dark rum
- 1 cup of golden raisins
- Additional coconut, cocoa powder, or candy sprinkles
- Plastic wrap
- Cookie scoop
- Knife
- Spoon
- 2 Mixing bowls
- Wax paper or parchment paper
- Airtight storage container
-
Step 1
Place the raisins in a bowl and cover them with dark rum. Let the raisins soak for 10 minutes. Drain the raisins and chop them into small pieces. (You can skip this step if you don't want raisins in the rum balls.)
-
Step 2
Add the chopped raisins, 1/2 cup of coconut, 1/4 cup of cocoa powder, 1/4 cup of rum, and 10 Weetabix biscuits to a large mixing bowl. Pour the entire can of sweetened condensed milk over the top. (You do not have to break up the Weetabix. The cereal will come apart once you add the liquid.)
-
Step 3
Mix all of the ingredients thoroughly, and cover the bowl with plastic wrap. Place the bowl in the refrigerator for 30 minutes to 1 hour to allow the cereal to soak up the milk and other ingredients and for the flavors to develop.
-
Step 4
In another mixing bowl, put the additional coconut, cocoa powder, or sprinkles. (This will be used to coat the rum balls.)
-
Step 5
Remove the bowl from the refrigerator and discard the plastic wrap. Lay a sheet of wax paper or parchment paper on a work surface.
-
Step 6
Use the cookie scoop to make balls of the dough. Drop a single ball into the coating and roll around until all sides are completely covered.
-
Step 7
Place the finished rum balls onto the wax paper. Continue until all of the dough mixture has been formed into balls and coated.
-
Step 8
Store leftover rum balls (if any) individually wrapped in wax or parchment paper in an airtight container.
