Rum Balls

This recipe was cut out of the newspaper and has been taped on the inside of Mom's kitchen cabinet for years.  It's yellowed and torn, but well-loved!  I have no idea which paper she took this from or when.

1 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
1/4 cup dark rum
1/4 cup honey or white corn syrup
2 cups ground walnuts
Confectioners' sugar

In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except sugar.  Shape into 1-inch balls.  Roll in sugar.  Store in tightly covered container.  Yield:  2 1/2 dozen
