- 1 cup finely chopped vanilla wafers
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided

I followed the instructions step by step and couldn't form the mix into balls because they were INCREDIBLY dry! I had to mix more corn syrup and bourbon - at least 3x as much as the recipe called for, and I still think they are a bit "off".
