Chocolate Rum Balls

These are SOOO good. A great friend of mine, who's a wonderful cook, gave me the recipe. They are more fudge than cookie and the rum and orange taste is subtle. Happy Cooking!!

Chocolate Rum Balls

6 oz. choc. chips

1/2 cup orange juice

3 TBS rum

1pkg. (8-5.oz) chocolate wafer cookies...crushed

2 cups confectioners sugar

1 cup walnuts finely chopped

1 container 4 oz. chocolate sprinkles

Melt chips in top of a double boiler. Remove from heat and blend in orange juice and rum. Stir in cookie crumbs, sugar and nuts. Cover and chill at least 2 hours. Roll into balls and roll in the sprinkles. Store in a cool place in airtight container. If adding cookies to a Christmas tray, put in zip lock bag to keep moist.
