Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 cups finely ground vanilla wafers
  • 2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1 tbsp instant espresso or coffee powder
  • 1/4 tsp ground cinnamon
  • 3 tbsp light corn syrup
  • 1 2/3 cup powdered sugar, divided use
  • 1/3 cup Bourbon

Directions

  1. In a large bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs, cocoa powder, chopped pecans, espresso powder, cinnamon, corn syrup and 1 cup powdered sugar, until combined. Stir in enough of the Bourdon for the mixture to hold together easily.

  2. Place remaining 2/3 cup powdered sugar in shallow dish or bowl. Roll balls in powdered sugar, cover. Let stand 2 hours. If desired, roll again in powdered sugar. Chill up to 1 week or freeze up to 3 months in an airtight container between layers of wax paper.
