3 c. finely crushed vanilla wafers
1 c. sifted powdered sugar
3 tbsp. breakfast cocoa
1/4 tsp. salt
1 c. chopped pecans
1/2 c. light corn syrup
1/4 c. rum

Combine wafers with next 3 ingredients. Mix pecans, syrup and rum, blending well. Dust hands with powdered sugar and shape into 1 inch balls. Let stand uncovered 1 hour. Roll in powdered sugar. If desired, press a pecan half into top of each ball. For best flavor, store in a tightly covered container 3 days before serving. Makes about 5 dozen.
