1-1/2 Cups vanilla wafer crumbs, about 50 cookies
1/4 Cup Bacardi dark rum
1/4 Cup honey
2 Cups ground walnuts, from 2 1/2 cup walnuts
8 ounces confectioner's sugar, for dusting.
Combine all ingredients, except confectioner's sugar, blend thoroughly.

TIPS:
Use a food processor or rolling pin to crush cookies and walnuts.
Store for about a week in a covered container before eating. Allowing balls to "age" improves the flavor.

Crush the wafers in a food processor or with a rolling pin.
If desired, add finely chopped nuts to the powdered sugar before rolling balls, or use only chopped nuts, coconut or chocolate sprinkles.
These balls have a strong rum taste and smell, as well as an alcoholic content. Avoid giving these to children or friends who don't drink alcohol.
