Bourbon Balls

Ingredients

One 12 oz. box vanilla wafers, crushed (I put then in a Ziploc and use a rolling pin)

3/4 cup confectioners' sugar

1 Cup ground pecans  (I grind my in the food processor)

1/3 Cup cocoa

1/3 Cup light corn syrup

1/3 Cup bourbon

powered sugar for coating

Preparation

Crush the wafers with a rolling pin or in a food processor: You should have about 3 cups. In a large bowl, mix them with the confectioners' sugar, ground pecans, cocoa, corn syrup and bourbon.Form the mixture into a ball and refrigerate. When the dough is firm, pull off walnut-sized pieces, form them into balls and roll them in more powdered sugar.

Makes 3 to 4 dozen rum balls.

Store in the refrigerator.
