Tricia, my Mom used to make Rum Balls, too. My Dad had a Christmas "office party" at our house every year and there were probably 25-30 people there. I used to love it 'cos everyone brought their kids and we'd all go downstairs to the basement/family room and watch TV, listen to the radio and play pool (we thought we were so cool playing pool...

...we were all about 12-13 years old). One of us would always sneak upstairs and take some rum balls and bring them back....none of us liked them but we thought we were so grown up eating them.
