Bourbon Balls



*Caution*
These are definitely not for anyone who doesn't drink. Watch the kids too!


1 package (12 oz.) vanilla wafers, finely crushed (ab. 3 cups)
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1/4 cup light corn syrup
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1/2 cup bourbon
1/2 sugar (I prefer to roll them in powdered sugar)


In large bowl, thoroughly mix all ingredients except granulated sugar (or extra powdered sugar). Shape into 1-inch balls: roll in sugar of choice. Store in tightly covered container for at least 3 days before serving to allow flavors to mellow. Keeps up to 2 weeks. Do not freeze. Makes about 3 1/2 dozen balls.
