Rum ball question?!
Answers: I have many recipes from the internet, but here's my problem. I want them pretty boozy tasting. Just increasing the amount of booze doesn't work. Then I try to increase the other ingredients, and it doesn't work. I have tried white rum, dark rum,, bourbon, and brandy. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance for the help, and Happy New Year!
Bacardi 151 has a higher alcohol content and more of it is needed to moisten the mixture. You can just about double the rum quantity in the recipe if you use 151. This results in a very boozy rum ball. They do tend to dry out faster though and need to be stored in an airtight container.
FIRST YOU MAKE THE RUM BALLS /// THEN YOU STORE THEM IN A TIN COVER WITH A DISH CLOTH OR PAPER TOWEL THAT HAS BEEN SPRINKLED WITH RUM COVER LET SET A FEW DAYS COME BACK AND BLESS WITH MORE RUM THIS WILL BE ABSORBED INTO THE COOKIES AND YOU WILL GET HIGH EATING THE COOKIES THIS SAME TECHNIQUE IS USED FOR EXCELLENT RUM CAKE
Face it, you're an alcoholic, get help.
You could try adding some rum extract to them. When I make chocolate raspberry truffles, I never think the raspberry liqueur is pronounced enough in the flavor, so I add raspberry extract and it really enhances the booze flavor. Also, I notice when making rum balls or whiskey balls, the longer they are around, the more potent they become!
