These no-bake Christmas rum balls are made with ladyfingers and walnuts, with butter and rum holding them together. Ground ladyfingers, walnuts, and cocoa form a pliable mixture that is easy to shape after a short chill.
The recipe makes about 40 balls. They contain alcohol; for children, replace the rum with rum flavoring and milk.

Instructions
Tip: tap a step to mark it as done.
Grind the ladyfingers
Grind the ladyfingers finely in a blender. In a bowl, combine them with the ground walnuts, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder.
Make the mixture
Add the softened butter and rum, and work the mixture together by hand or with a wooden spoon. If it is crumbly, add milk a tablespoon at a time until it can be shaped and no longer sticks to your hands.
Chill until firm
Cover the bowl and refrigerate the mixture for 30 minutes to firm up.
Shape the balls
With damp hands, shape the mixture into balls about 2.5 cm in diameter and immediately roll them in the chocolate sprinkles. Place them in paper candy cups.
Chill and store
Refrigerate the finished balls for 60 minutes to firm up. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for about 2 weeks.
Tip: To make evenly sized balls, roll the mixture into two logs and cut each into 20 equal pieces.
