Category: Recipes
    Prep Time:       Cook Time:       Total Time:  

1 box Vanilla Wafers (12oz) crushed
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
2 cups powdered sugar plus extra for coating
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup Jim Beam bourbon whiskey*

Mix dry ingredients. Add corn syrup and cut in. Add bourbon whiskey and stir until it is too firm to stir. Put on baker's gloves* and knead until dough is thoroughly mixed and firm.

Roll dough into 1-inch balls and roll in powdered sugar. Refrigerate. Makes approximately 60 balls.

*Any bourbon whiskey can be used but my favorite is Jim Beam.

*Hands can be used to knead dough but it is extremely sticky. Thin baker's gloves won't stick to dough.
