For a deeper flavor, use dark rum instead of light rum. If the mixture is too dry, add a teaspoon of rum at a time until the dough comes together. These rum balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to a week, or frozen for longer storage. Thaw before serving. Experiment with different types of nuts, such as almonds or hazelnuts, for a unique flavor profile.
