Chocolate Whiskey Balls
Makes 30 balls
1 cup pecans toasted chopped fine
1 cup chocolate wafer cookies crumbled fine
1 cup powdered sugar
1 1/2 Tbsp light Karo Syrup
1/4 cup whiskey
extra powdered sugar for rolling
Note: Time shown includes the time for rolling the balls.
In a microwave, roast the pecans. Place nuts in a cup, microwave for one
minute, stir and microwave another minute. Grind the pecans in food
processor after cooling. Grinds the cookies also. Combine. Add the sugar,
corn syrup and whiskey to the crumbs. Mix well into a thick dough. Using
your hands coated with sugar, I use thin plastic gloves although not
needed, make small balls about the size of a walnut or quarter, roll in
powdered sugar and place on wax or parchment paper to dry. Store in an air
tight container.
