Yum! These were a unanimous hit among the Kitchen Crew... even with those who wouldn't normally opt for Bourbon. I do suggest that you lessen the amount of alcohol a bit if you're not used to the flavor, as it does come through the chocolate quite prominently.

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 c fine vanilla wafer crumbs
1 c finely chopped pecans
1 c confectioners sugar
2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 c bourbon
1 tablespoon plus 1 1/2 teaspoon light corn syrup
confectioners sugar sifted

Steps:

  • 1. Thoroughly combine 1 crushed vanilla wafer crumbs, chopped pecans, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, and the cocoa.
  • 2. In a separate bowl, blend the bourbon and corn syrup.
  • 3. Stir this bourbon mixture into the dry mixture; blend well. Cover and chill for at least a few hours.
  • 4. Sift about 1/2 to 1 cup of confectioners' sugar on a cookie sheet.
  • 5. Shape small bits of the dough into balls and roll them in the confectioners'.
  • 6. Store in refrigerator in tightly covered containers. Make these a few days in advance for best flavor, and roll in confectioners' sugar again before serving, if desired.
  • 7. These can also be frozen for longer storage. Makes about 3 dozen bourbon balls.
