Bourbon Balls

By molpel

A variation on this recipe adds ½ cup confectioners’ sugar to the mix before rolling the balls. A food grinder or a food processor makes the crushing process much easier. Amounts can be adjusted to make more or less bourbon balls. These can be made a week or two before serving.

Ingredients

• 1 lb vanilla wafers
• 1 lb pecans
• ½ cup light Karo syrup
• 2/3 cup bourbon whiskey
• Powdered (confectioners’) sugar
