BOURBON BALLS

Bourbon Balls function as the ultimate easy dessert for Southern cocktail parties, and they put a sweet, slightly boozy finish on any get-together. Think of them as an edible digestif. Crushed vanilla wafers hold all the chocolatey goodness together. Buy an 11-ounce box and remove two dozen wafers to save for another use, like Banana Pudding.

Yield 48, serves 24

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 cups crushed vanilla wafers (about 8 ounces)
1 cup finely chopped toasted pecans
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, such as Nashville-made Olive & Sinclair 67% cacao chocolate, chopped
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1/3 cup bourbon
Optional coatings:
Finely ground vanilla wafers
Finely chopped pecans or other nuts
Dusting of cocoa powder, cinnamon sugar, or confectioner's sugar

Steps:

  • Combine the crushed wafers and pecans in a large bowl. Place the chopped chocolate in a separate bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, combine the cream, corn syrup, and cinnamon, place over medium heat, and bring to just a boil, stirring constantly. Immediately pour the mixture over the chopped chocolate and whisk to blend in the cream as the chocolate melts. Let cool for 1 to 2 minutes, then whisk in the bourbon.
  • Pour the chocolate mixture over the crumb-nut mixture and stir well to combine. Place in the refrigerator to chill for 30 minutes. Form the mixture into balls with a small melon baller (about 2 teaspoons), roll in coatings if desired, and arrange on a parchment-lined baking sheet. Store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 1 week.

MEEMAW'S BOURBON BALLS

I've tried several recipes I found online, and the mixture always comes out too wet to form balls. My grandmother used to make these, and I finally figured out my own recipe that's as close to hers as I could get.
