If your mixture isn’t firm enough to roll, refrigerate for 30 minutes.

If you do not have a food processor, place biscuits in a plastic bag and crush with a rolling pin.

Rum balls can be kept in the fridge for up to a week and in the freezer for up to a month.

Comments & Reviews

Really like this recipe. Didn’t have any orange zest or maple flavoured sugarless syrup so left them out as I really wanted to try this recipe. Still turned out yummy.
