Yield 54 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
20 (4 1/2 ounce) chocolate wafer cookies
4 ounces chopped walnuts (optional) or 4 ounces chopped cashews (optional)
1/2 cup pitted prune, chopped fine
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup Bourbon or 1/2 cup brandy
1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk

Steps:

  • Put chocolate chips into a double boiler on low heat and simmer, stirring occasionally until melted and smooth.
  • Put cookies & nuts, if using, into food processor and process until finely ground, about 1/2 cups.
  • Stir crumbs, pitted prunes, confectioner's sugar, bourbon or brandy and condensed milk into chocolate mixture until evenly combined.
  • Cover and refrigerate mixture until firm enough to roll into balls, about 24 hours.
  • Scoop 1 tablespoon or so of mixture with a cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop, roll each portion with cool hands into a smooth ball and set on baking sheet or large plate.
  • To serve, put sugar on a plate and roll balls to coat, & serve at room temperature.
