BOURBON BALLS

Steps:

• Finely crush vanilla sugar wafers in a food processor and measure out 3 cups worth.
• Finely crush 1 cup of whole pecans in a food processor.
• Mix wafers, nuts, powdered sugar, and cocoa.
• Stir in bourbon and corn syrup.
• Using a teaspoon to help gather mixture for each ball, shape mixture into 3/4" to 1" balls.
• Rolls balls in powdered sugar. I do this by dropping batches of the balls into a ziplock bag with a bit of powdered sugar in it. Refill some sugar into ziplock bag as needed.
• Refrigerate in tightly covered containers several days before serving (though they are very yummy right away!).
• Makes about 5 to 8 dozen balls.
