Traditional Rum BallsMy Grandma's Traditional Recipe!
By Jody AllenTraditional Rum Balls are an old time favourite loved by young and old.
You don’t have to just make them at Christmas time, they are good all year around!
I love these – make up to a week ahead and enjoy! They also make a great gift for a boss or Grandfather or anyone else hard to buy for.
This recipe is made the old time way – which uses Weetbix – and it gives the Rum Balls that delicious texture that the Traditional Rum Balls should have!
If you like this recipe you will LOVE this one Condensed Milk Chocolate Cake.
