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.
