1 cup semi sweet chocolate chips, melted
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup water
1 tsp almond extract
2 1/2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafer crumbs
1 cup pecans, crushed
1/2 cup granulated sugar

Line cookie sheets or trays with waxed paper. Melt chips in microwave, starting with 25 seconds, stirring and going again for 10 seconds each time, then stirring again until melted. In a medium bowl, mix melted chips, confectioners' sugar, corn syrup and water with extract mix with a wooden spoon. Stir in cookie crumbs and pecans until blended. Shape by rounding teaspoonfuls into balls, (if to crumbly add a tiny amount of water). Roll in granulated sugar. Place on cookie sheets. Store in airtight containers.
