Chocolate Rum Balls #CreativeCookieExchange

Today for you for Creative Cookie Exchange I am sharing a recipe for Chocolate Rum Balls. The theme this month is Drunken Cookies and hosted by Laura from The Spiced Life. These are decadent little cookies that can be shared at any time of the year. Great for an adult indulgence while the kiddies have sugar cookies!! This makes a nice light dessert too when all you need is a little sumpin sumpin. Rich, decadent, alcohol-infused, chocolate balls. They will hit the spot for many a reason!!

They are so easy to make, all done in a food processor and they are no-bake. Roll them in your favorite cocoa, icing sugar, nuts, sprinkles or bits. I used icing sugar, cocoa, and Hershey’s Toffee Bits.
