Do You Like Pina Colada... Power Balls?

These seem to have turned out much better than the previous Power Balls. I finally went grocery shopping tonight so having more ingredients might have helped with that and maybe the bit of rum extract I used too - I mean, how could I call them Pina Colada Power Balls without really mimicking the essence of Pina Coladas? (Don't worry - there isn't a significant amount of alcohol in the rum extract that would cause any loopiness and probably it won't even be able to taste the flavor of it anyway, but it was still fun to include).

Here's the recipe:
