SUMMARY
Yield 0 File under Cookies Brownies Bars
INSTRUCTIONS
NO BAKE, MIX AND MAKE! Fast, easy & tasty!
Use the special KA "Snow White Sugar" (Item #1307) for the outer coating. This special non-melting confectioners sugar means the bourbon balls coating will remain perfect for days.
3 cups ground vanilla wafers
1/2 cup finely chopped pecans
1/2 cup cocoa powder (American-style, unsweetened)
1 cup confectioner's sugar
1/2 cup bourbon (Maker's Mark is my favorite, but use a premium bourbon)
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
Pinch of salt
1 cup KA "Snow White" sugar (or another cup of confectioners sugar)
Blend together the vanilla wafer crumbs, nuts, cocoa, pinch of salt and 1 cup confectioners sugar. Mix well. Add bourbon and corn syrup. Mix until the dough will hold together into balls.
Form into small balls the size of walnuts (or golfballs). Roll each ball in the "Snow White" sugar and place on a flat surface. Chill in the refrigerator to store. Or just place out for guests to snack on.
