Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely chopped vanilla wafers
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar, divided
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
  • 2 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup

Directions

Combine the vanilla wafer crumbs, chopped pecans, 1 cup of the confectioners' sugar, and the cocoa. Combine the bourbon and corn syrup and stir into the dry mixture. When thoroughly blended, cover and refrigerate the dough for 1 hour or more. Sift the remaining confectioners' sugar onto a large piece of waxed paper. Take 1 tablespoon of the dough, shape it into a ball, and roll it in the sugar. Repeat until all the dough is used. Store them, covered, in the refrigerator.

    I love this recipe! While it may be a little messy, it is totally worth it. If I could give one recommendation...double the recipe!

    I first made these in 2007 and they have been requested every Christmas since. In fact, they are a staple in the holiday baskets I make as gifts. This one's a keeper!

    I wasted enough money to prepare this recipe that I could have purchased edible candy from a professional. Just a nasty mess.
