We always had rum balls at Christmas and Easter when I was a kid. Now I use them as an easy, bite-size traditional addition to Christmas Day but with the no-cook advantage. They're quick to make and the adults get all nostalgic while the kids wolf them down.

Altered ingredient amounts. I added sultanas cos I remember there being dried fruit in these? from when I was a kid? Rum balls are so easy to make for maximum, easy sweet treats! - 20 Dec 2008
