This is the ultimate adult dessert. It has alcohol content in it (though not enough to get you drunk), as well as it has that valued sweetness we can only get from chocolates.

Here’s a recipe from AllRecipes.

Ingredients:

3 1/4 cups crushed vanilla wafers

3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar

1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

1 1/2 cups chopped walnuts

3 tablespoons light corn syrup

1/2 cup rum

Procedure:

* In a large bowl, stir together the crushed vanilla wafers, 3/4 cup confectioners’ sugar, cocoa, and nuts. Blend in corn syrup and rum.
* Shape into 1 inch balls, and roll in additional confectioners’ sugar. Store in an airtight container for several days to develop the flavor. Roll again in confectioners’ sugar before serving.

You can give these as gifts during Christmas and other holidays, or you can indulge on this every other night after dinner. But the thing is, chocolate rum balls are absolutely one of the most exquisite, sophisticated and easy-to-make desserts out there.
