A classic Christmas nibble, rum balls are a decadent blend of nuts, cookie, sugar, and rum. Easy to make, this vegan holiday dessert is perfect for holiday entertaining as well as giving away as a vegan holiday gift. Best yet, you can prep vegan rum balls up to three days ahead and refrigerate until you’re ready to serve. Tasty and time-saving!

I’m sorry I didn’t see this post on vegan rum balls earlier. What an easy recipe! I think I’ll have to bring some rum balls to the Super Bowl party we’ve been invited to the end of this month!
Yummy!
I love rum balls and this vegan version means that I can serve them to all my friends.

Where did you get vegan chocolate wafer cookies? I’m not sure what those are.
I suppose one could use oreo’s, they are a great vegan chocolate wafer cookie.
