- 1 cup Semi-Sweet Chocolate Chips
- 1/2 cup Powdered Sugar
- 3 tablespoons Light Corn Syrup
- 1/2 teaspoon Vanilla Extract
- 1/2 cup Dark Rum

Instructions
- Place the semi-sweet chocolate chips into a microwave-safe bowl and heat for 30 seconds. Give the chocolate a good stir and place back in the microwave for 25 seconds (the chips will still not be completely melted). Stir the chocolate chips until smooth. It will take a few minutes to stir them together.
- Using a sifter or strainer pour the powdered sugar into the chocolate and stir it together.
- Add the rum, corn syrup, and vanilla into the chocolate mixture and mix the ingredients together until smooth.
- In a medium-sized bowl combine the vanilla wafers, pecans, and salt until well mixed.
- Pour the wafer mixture into the chocolate and stir until completely mixed together. Cover and place in the fridge for 30 minutes to chill.
- Using a cookie scoop or small spoon scoop out the mixture and roll into 1-inch sized balls. Pour the cocoa powder into a small bowl and roll each ball into the powder.
