Best Whiskey Bon Bons Recipes
BOOZY BON BONS
I've had this recipe for years and don't really know where I got it. I've only ever made these during the Christmas season. I store them in an old clear glass, clasp-lid mason jar with gold glittered decorations and a pretty ribbon. Cooking time is standing time. Rum or Brandy can be substituted for the whiskey. For those of you in the UK, you can substitute digestive bisquits for the wafers and also sub golden syrup for the corn syrup.

Steps:
- Put cookies into a large ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin or put into a food processor until you have very fine crumbs.
- Mix the 1 cup powdered sugar, cocoa powder and walnuts thoroughly. Add to the cookie crumbs in a large bowl and mix together.
- Add the corn syrup and whiskey and stir to combine. If mixture seems dry, add more whiskey, about a tablespoon at a time, up to 1/4 cup more. Do not add any more than this or the mixture will be too wet.
- Let mixture stand for 20 minutes.
- Roll into 1" balls, then roll in powdered sugar and place on waxed paper. Let dry 30 minutes.
- Store in airtight container 2-3 weeks to ripen before eating.

Steps:
- Roll out vanilla wafers in a zip loc or heavy plastic bag, until wafers are fine and smooth.
- Combine wafer crumbs with the cocoa powder, powdered sugar, karo syrup, whiskey and walnuts.
- Roll into 1" balls.
- In a double boiler, melt together the chocolate chips and the shortening.
- Roll the bon bons in the melted chocolate, and allow to cool on a sheet of waxed paper.
- I'm told these can be frozen ... but they never lasted long enough for that, as I put them on goody trays for the holidays and never tried freezing them.
- I do not drink whiskey, so I "borrowed" a cup from a neighbor to make these, but you can also use a rum extract and reconstitute it to make 1/3 cup substitution for the whiskey.
