Title says it all Smile

I never made them before in my life (don't even like them lol) anyone have a really easy, good rumball recipe? A no bake one also sounds really good! I am giving out a lot of shalach manos this year, so I don't want to spend too much time with the baking...thanks in advance!

I am totally curious, why would you make them if you don't like them? I don't know anyone over the age of 8 who does like them, so it seems a really odd choice.

My kids have each made them in school, starting with crushed cookies.

I have a great recipe but it's made with cake. Let me know if it's interesting so I'll post it.

I love rumballs but you need to grind up cake and dip them. they're quite a job.

Maybe with cake it is something different. Here the kids mush together cookie crumbs, margarine, sugar and rum extract. Then they roll them in sprinkles.
