Fathers and kids, are you looking for something to make for mom on Mother’s day?! Here is an easy peasy no cook no bake recipe, that the kids will have a lot of fun making it and the mom will definitely love it! Skip the rum in half the batch and the kids can enjoy it themselves!

This is an easy and yet quite tasty recipe that you can make without messing it up. Especially if you have invited folks over for dinner and you realize all you have is some plain vanilla ice cream and you want to serve them something more. I am telling you, the guests will love the little rum surprise in it. Dress it up with crushed nuts and / or drizzle with some melted chocolate, if you wish to make it just a little bit more elegant.Almond Peanut Butter Rum Balls - no cook no bake recipe - www.cookingcurries.com (5)

I made these rum balls last Sunday after breakfast and lil V came running asking to taste. Of course, I could not give him this. So, I decided to make a rum-less batch for him. I had only half of the amount of peanut butter that I needed for the recipe, so I decided to substitute with some sun butter for the rest.

It was perfect for him. He absolutely loved it and kept asking for more and I had to limit him to 2 or 3 as his after lunch dessert and let him indulge in one more during his snack time.

I quickly had to pack up the rest and keep them in the refrigerator, or else he kept pointing at my stand mixer and asking for more. Only when I showed him that the mixer was in fact empty did he stop asking and he was not too happy about that either!
