Chocolate Whiskey Balls
... by rcoen
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.
