Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F and generously grease and flour a 13x9x2 inch pan.

  2. Prepare the cake: Follow the package directions to prepare, bake, and cool the cake. Once cooled, crumble the cake into a large bowl using a fork, ensuring the crumbs are fine and uniform in size.

  3. Combine the goodness: Add 1 cup each of pecans and walnuts to the crumbled cake. Pour in the rum, sprinkle the confectioners’ sugar, and add cocoa to the mix. Stir the ingredients until they are well blended, creating a heavenly concoction of flavors.

  4. Shape the magic: Take heaping tablespoonfuls of the mixture and shape them into delightful balls. To elevate the visual appeal and add a crunch, garnish these balls by rolling them in finely chopped pecans and optionally, walnuts. Press firmly to ensure the nuts adhere perfectly to the surface.

  5. Optional twist: For an extra touch of indulgence, try rolling the balls in coconut. This adds a tropical flair and a hint of sweetness to complement the rich nutty and rum-infused center.

These Fudge Rum Balls are not just a dessert; they’re a celebration in every bite. With their versatile nature, you can enjoy them fresh or store them in the freezer, ready to spread joy whenever the occasion calls for a delightful treat.
