Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup chocolate creme-filled cookie crumbs
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips
2 tablespoons bourbon or water
1 teaspoon light corn syrup
2 egg whites
2/3 cup sugar
1/2 teaspoon vanilla

Steps:

  • Heat oven to 250° F. Generously grease cookie sheets with shortening.
