I think I'm going to do the rum balls, and some truffles.

Good idea. I've never liked brandy or bourbon balls, rum is much
smoother tasting. Chocolate truffles are easy enough to make. Roll
ganache into a ball, coat with powdered unsweetened chocolate,
chocolate sprinkles, chopped nuts etc.

I added booze to rum balls when my kids were little. They didn't like
the results well enough for me to worry about them snarffing it all up
when I wasn't looking.

Thanks for the reminder, I should make a batch this season.
