Food Allergies Treatment

Question by sweet-rain: Rum balls recipe or substitution ?
I would like to make my mother rum balls for christmas as she loves them and hasn’t had them in years but the problem I’m running in to is the recipes call for walnuts, etc. but she has a tree nut allergy. Does anyone know of a recipe that does not call for any type of nut? Thanks!

something like that…

Ingredients
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup confectioners’ sugar (150g)
3 cups vanilla wafer, crushed (Crush vanilla biscuits and use if you dont get vanilla wafers, 300g)
4 tablespoons dark corn syrup or golden syrup
1/2 cup dark rum (more or less, depending on personal tastes)
extra cocoa or ground chocolate, to roll the rum balls in

Directions
1 In a large bowl, sift together the cocoa and confectioners’ sugar.
2 In a food processor or blender crush/crumble the vanilla wafers.
3 Add the crushed vanilla wafers to the sugar mixture and combine.
4 Add the remaining ingredients.
5 Form the mixture into 1 inch (2. 5 cm) balls with your hands.
6 The balls should hold together easily and retain their shape.
7 If the mixture is too dry to hold together or too wet to form balls, you can easily adjust the consistency by adding rum/sugar accordingly.
8 Sprinkle the extra cocoa or ground chocolate on a flat surface and roll the balls in to coat.
9 Have’em on your cookie tray this year and watch’em vanish before you know it!

There are allergies to both in the house. As well as a milk allergy. This question was posted last week with answers that wouldn’t work for these allergies.
