Bourbon or Whiskey Balls are a breeze to make, and they retain their alcoholic zing!
1 box vanilla wafers
½ cup cocoa powder
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1 cup pecans or walnuts
3/4 cup Bourbon or whiskey
In a food processor, crush the vanilla wafers and mix with the cocoa powder and sugar.
Add the nuts and pulse the processor to break up the nuts.
Add the whiskey slowly until the mixture is moist (but not sticky) and you can press into a ball. About 3/4 cup.
Roll mixture into 1-inch balls and roll in more powdered sugar.
Can be made the night before. The flavors mellow more, though the alcohol content remains the same.
They look like donut holes, but pack a punch!
