Love comments by people who change the recipe, then say it 'didn't turn out'. Try the original first...

These didn't turn out. I used Kahlua and made half with fruit half without. The fruit half was moist but neither had a good flavor. Won't be making again.

I followed the directions exactly and they turned out hard as marbles and horrible.

A big hit this year!! I used oreo's instead of the chocolate wafers because I couldn't find them in my grocery store. They may have been sweeter than the creators of this would have liked, but everyone ate them up. You could probably lighten up on the sugar if if wanted. Yum!!

I found the thin chocolate wafers at Food Lion where the Ice Cream cones & toppings are, on the top shelf. Recipe has good flavor. When you combine ingredients, a bit difficult to mix together, I put mixture in a pot on stove & on LOW heat to soften & mix. I was unable to get 4.5 dozen, more like 2-2.5 dozen. Cookies are like a chocolate truffle consistency.

I followed the recipe exactly. The booze balls were very easy to make and easy to roll. I made one batch with Brandy and one batch with Kahlua. I probably wont use this recipe again because the balls were too rich and you cant eat more than 2 bites.

But adding the prunes/dried plums is a great idea. They keep the balls moist and pair very well with the booze.

I wish there was a lighter, less sweet version of this recipe.

These are exceptionally easy and come together quickly. They do take a week (or 4 to come together with the booze (I used rum and mellow. I used the Giardelli 60% cocoa chips and vanilla wafers and since I had dried cherries I threw some in the mix along with the dried plums...really good! Next time I will try throwing some nuts or seeds in the mix. Love this recipe, thanks Food Network Kitchen.

i don't know if i did something wrong or what but this recipe says it makes 4 1/2 dozen 1 inch balls and i only got about 20 out of it. they were tasty, but i was disappointed in the amount. also, i had to chill the mixture MUCH longer than 45min to get it firm enough to make the balls - and even then they were very soft and sticky - perhaps my hands were too warm?

all in all pretty good, but i doubt i would make them again.

Very delicious. I too could not find chocolate wafer, so substituted vanilla and then added some cocoa powder. I made 1/2 with Kahlua and 1/2 with bourbon. The Kahlua was preferred. End result was a rich treat.
