Easy Holiday Christmas Rum Balls are sweet, dense, and the perfect addition to your holiday dessert trays! This traditional recipe will have all of the adults raving!Nothing screams “Christmas” like Christmas rum balls and my famous traditional cut-out sugar cookies. They are one of the only desserts that are very Christmas-specific. I mean, maybe you can make them for other holidays? When I see rum balls I always think of Christmas and that’s what makes them so special. These rum-infused Easy Christmas Rum Balls are perfectly-sized treats for adults!

Rum balls are a truffle-like dessert that are sweet, dense, and flavored with chocolate and rum. You can make them any size you want, but I like them to be bite-size. Because they are a no-bake dessert, the alcohol flavor and kick from the rum are not lost during preparation. FYI: If you love chocolate and rum together, you should check out my Hot Chocolate Coffee Rum Cake.

Everyone who tried these agreed that the amount of rum was just the right amount. The flavor comes through nicely in these traditional, soft Christmas cookies. I have had some rum balls that were way too strong and others where you could hardly taste the rum.

Both scenarios are equally disappointing! Have you ever heard someone say that a properly made rum ball should be a fire hazard? As funny as I think that statement is, I like the rum flavor to not be overpowering.

These easy no-bake treats are perfect for your next holiday party. Everyone’s eyes lit up when they saw these and my Homemade Cream Puffs on my cookie trays last year. Of course, I had to warn everyone that they contained rum so they were just for the adults.

Part of me thought about how funny one of the kids’ faces would be as they bit into one of these, though. It would be an unpleasant surprise – that’s for sure. Another no-bake chocolate dessert that is just perfect for Christmas is this recipe for Crock Pot Triple Chocolate Peanut Candy.

Slow Cooker Triple Chocolate Peanut Candy dessert recipe is the easiest way to make homemade candy for the holidays! For this sweet and salty treat, just dump everything in the crock pot and let it do all the work for you!

Tip: If there are nut allergies in your household, you can go ahead and substitute coconut flakes for the walnuts.

Here are my Christmas desserts if you’re looking for more ideas. I put them all in one place for you to make it super easy to find something you like. I’m partial to my Italian Anisette Cookies. I also have my eye on these Hot Buttered Rum Cookies from my friend Mary. Enjoy these Easy Christmas Rum Balls and Merry Christmas!
