Rum Balls

2 cups finely crushed chocolate wafers
1 cup sifted confectioners' sugar
1 cup finely chopped nuts
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons dark rum
1 cup chocolate sprinkles

Combine chocolate wafer crumbs, sugar, nuts, corn syrup and rum with hands. Mix until ingredients are well combined. The mixture will be stiff and sticky. Shape into 1-inch balls and roll in chocolate sprinkles. Refrigerate, covered, overnight.

If desired, roll in sprinkles again just before wrapping each ball individually in plastic wrap or before serving.
