I also make orange-chocolate cookies (two orange flavored wafers with chocolate chips with a layer of chocolate in between to hold them together). This year I am going to try to make irish cream- chocolate chip pound cake in snowman shaped molds.
I never noticed before, but all of my holiday baking includes alcohol!

Try substituting Kahlau for the Rum, and add about 1/4 cocoa to the Rum Ball recipe - 'tis good!
I have to check out my reciepts before the weekend...

I'll have to check out the Kaluha balls.
I already add white raisins to my rum balls-- and I use Captain Morgans or Sailor Jerrys Spiced Rum, so I'm not sure if the chocolate would go well or not. (The burbon balls have cocoa in them).
Oh, and I once made the rum balls with Malibu Rum and added flaked coconut and crushed pineapple (well drained). that was yummy as well! But the husband doesn't like coconut so I haven't made them since.
Gotcha. My rum balls are fairly simple: finely minced pecans, powdered sugar, cocoa, rum, and I think Karo. (this has been a rough day...!)
Mine are powdered sugar, crushed vanilla wafers (I run them through a coffee grinder), cocoa (if burbon) walnuts (if burbon) white raisins (if rum), alcohol, and Karo. No way can you get drunk off of them because they only have 1/2 cup of alcohol and a full pound of powdered sugar in each batch!
I "make" peppermint ice cream pie during the holidays - it's unbelievably easy. However, it requires absolutely no baking, so I've just inadvertently hijacked this lovely thread. Sorry.
1 chocolate cookie crumb ready made pie shell
1 tub peppermint ice cream, somewhat softened
Hershey's syrup
crushed candy canes or peppermints
Spread the ice cream into the pie shell, drizzle with syrup and top with candy canes.
It goes really well with Hot Chocolate.
