Time 30m

Yield 36 balls (approximately)

Number Of Ingredients 7

17 Oreo cookies (do not use double-stuffed)
3/4 cup finely chopped pecans
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
3 tablespoons Kahlua
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 teaspoons vanilla
chocolate, for dipping (optional)

Steps:

  • Chop or crush cookies quite fine.
  • Measure out 1 1/2 cups of crushed cookies and mix with remaining ingredients except dipping chocolate.
  • Form into small balls, about one inch in diameter.
  • Roll balls in remaining cookie crumbs (for best results, have the crumbs crushed very fine).
  • OR, refrigerate balls for 1 hour and then dip in melted chocolate; return to refrigerator to set chocolate.
  • Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
  • NOTE: If you want to make a non-alcoholic version, just substitute Kahlua flavored syrup, which can be found in the coffee section of most supermarkets.
  • Change the liqueur/syrup flavor to make Amaretto Balls, Irish Cream Balls, or whatever suits you.
