Poster's Notes:
This is a recipe for Kahlua Balls, but you can substitute rum. It's also pareve. I've also left substituted dried cherries for the candied cherries. Once, I forgot to add the powdered sugar called for in the recipe, and I think I liked it better. It wasn't quite so sweet and you could taste the other ingredients more.
