Rum balls are a holiday classic, and even better, they are one of the easiest holiday treats you can make! My no bake recipe starts with Biscoff cookies, giving them lots of cozy flavor.
While there’s no reason you can’t make rum balls year-round, they’re best known for popping up in tins of Christmas cookies. Let’s be honest, there’s really no better way to get a party started than with a rum-soaked confection!
These bite-sized treats are made from a mixture of crumbled cookies (or sometimes chocolate cake), sugar, nuts, and a generous splash of rum, which adds a rich, distinctive flavor.
There are a lot of variations too. Every family has their own take on what a rum ball should be, whether that’s rolling them in sprinkles or adding cocoa powder.
Here’s why these rum balls are a must-make recipe for the holidays:
Rum balls require no baking and not all that many ingredients, which means they are one of the easiest holiday treats you can make. I don’t know about you, but I’m always on the hunt for easy holiday recipes!
Customize the basic rum ball formula to make this recipe your own. Swap out different types of cookies, use different coatings for rolling, or add nuts and dried fruits to the mixture for added texture and flavor.
Rum balls last up to two weeks, so they’re fantastic for making ahead of time and keeping on hand until your holiday parties.
With their cozy flavor and that irresistible spiced rum, these sweet treats are always a hit at parties and gatherings. Their small, bite-sized form also makes them easy to serve and eat!
