Furnace woes today. Brr! It was chilly inside too. Today is Cookie Day 9; Deb told me the Toronto Star began a 24 Days of Cookies feature, so check online for even more recipes (though *I* started early!).
In line with those rumballs from yesterday, I thought about making other kinds of not-rum balls. Let's face it: you can use any kind of cookie for the base, any kind of liquor for flavouring. So here's an adapted rumball recipe to mimic my winter favourite - hot cocoa with Bailey's, yum!
Bailey Bits
1 8 1/2 oz package of chocolate wafers,crushed
1 c pecans, chopped
1 c confectioner’s sugar
1/4 c light corn syrup
1/4 c Bailey's Irish Cream
Combine all ingredients, mixing well.
Shape into balls.
When finished, roll balls into extra confectioner's sugar or cocoa powder.
Store in tightly-covered tin.
What a nice gift several graduated tins filled with various types of not-rum balls would be! For kiddies, leave out the liquor and use extract to flavour, I imagine, with a bit more corn syrup to compensate for the decreased liquid.
Art for today is a pear currently available in my etsy shop. It's a bit different for me, with other media and techniques in addition to the watercolour.
