A little variation...use white chocolate and sweetened condensed milk. When you roll them into balls, put a chocolate chip in the center then use red decorative icing to make it look like bloodshot eyeballs. Omit the pecans and rum extract, of course.

This was a great, simple recipe! I used real rum instead and even have made it with a little Kahlua instead. I'm not a fan of nuts,but I love extra dark chocolate. So once I subbed the nuts with cocoa powder and always dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet; that gave it an extra kick!!

Rum balls turned out good but I would have prefered milk chocolate over the semi sweet

Very easy and fast to make, didn't have rum extract so I used real rum instead....yummmy...also used different things to roll rum balls is, chocolate sprinkles seemed to be everyones favorite coating.

Very good when just made. Tend to dry out if not wrapped well enough, then a little dry .

It was fabulous! Easy to make and delicious. I used different coatings for a festive display (coconut, colored sugar, etc.). Really recommend it.

Yuck! I thought these tasted terrible! The rum extract taste was so strong. All but one member of my family agreed. I was embarrassed to even serve them, so they went in the garbage.

This is easier than i thought to make and was good. Didn't have any rum so put vanilla flavor in it. reminds me of fudge. And i love fudge. Just never make. Try it you will like it if you like Chocolate..hmm

Much better than the cream cheese based recipes. This sets up very nicely and tastes great. Will definately make again.
