Learn how to make rum balls with this simple no-bake recipe, naturally enriched with pure maple syrup! 

This rum balls recipe combines the classic taste of sweet biscuits with the warmth of dark rum, along with rich vanilla extract, ground cinnamon and maple syrup. After mixing the ingredients into a dough, you’ll need to let it rest in the fridge for an hour, allowing the flavours to fuse together, before pressing into balls and sprinkling with desiccated coconut. To opt for a non-alcoholic version that the whole family can enjoy, simply leave out the rum – or, for a boozy cocktail party snack, add more!
