CHOCOLATE WHISKEY BALLS

Category: Candy

1 cup pecans toasted chopped fine
1 cup chocolate wafer cookies crumbled fine
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 tbsp light corn syrup
1/4 cup whiskey
Extra powdered sugar for rolling

In a microwave, roast the pecans. Place nuts in a cup, microwave for one minute, stir and microwave another minute. Grind the pecans in food processor after cooling. Grinds the cookies also. Combine.

Add the sugar, corn syrup and whiskey to the crumbs. Mix well into a thick dough. Using your hands coated with sugar, I use thin plastic gloves although not needed, make small balls about the size of a walnut or quarter, roll in powdered sugar and place on wax or parchment paper to dry. Store in an airtight container.
