    Wow, were these easy to make using the processor! Very tasty too. I used rum and from now on, this will be the only recipe I use for rum balls. Thanks for posting this.

    I just came back to this recipe as I am planning my gift baskets for the holidays. I forgot to review it last year! This is so easy and quick and OH SO TASTY! I used Myers dark rum and a 12 oz box of Nillas were just right. Everyone loved them last year, and honestly, I could eat these until I pass out!!! LOL. Another winner Rita!

    These were very easy to make and they tasted great. I added extra bourbon, so when I gave them as gifts, everyone said they were great and all they needed was one to get drunk. HA! HA!.. Rita give us more recipes like this for next year. Dolly

    What a great recipe! I used the food processor to chop the pecans and the cookies and the just threw everything on top and pulsed till it came together. Used a small ice cream scoopto ball the cookies and they turned out perfect, no sticky or any other problems.

    Love. Love. Love this recipe. The only thing hard about it is getting people to try it. Once they do, they're glad they did.

    I had the same problem as donna middle apt-- the "batter" was impossible to work with, but I just popped it into the fridge for a little while and it rolled into balls very easily after that. Although, at that point, the powdered sugar didn't stick very well. Maybe I had it in the fridge a little too long. Gave it 4 stars because it just didn't look very attractive... but maybe that was my fault. Otherwise, yummy and RUMMY!

    I tried these as everyone rated them 5 stars. When I put everything into my food process I got what looked like brown glue. It was a soft sticky runny mess. I must have done something wrong. I even added extra vanilla wafers to no avail. Audrey
