These festive vegan rum balls are full of flavor and easy to make with just six ingredients! They're perfect for holiday gifting and entertaining.
Place the cookie crumbs, powdered sugar, and cocoa into a large mixing bowl.
Add the rum, maple syrup, and vanilla. Stir until the mixture is combined and the dry ingredients are evenly saturated.
Roll the mixture into balls by tablespoonfuls. Add a splash of water if the mixture seems too dry, and use wet hands if the mixture is sticking to them.
Optionally, roll each rum ball in toppings of choice, lightly pressing the toppings into the surface. You can lightly we the outside of the rum ball if you're having trouble getting the toppings to stick.
Serve immediately, or (preferably) place the rum balls in an airtight container to chill for 2 to 3 days.
