By Tufgrlz

Ingredients

• 1 box vanilla wafers
• 1 cup pecans
• 1 1/4 cup icing sugar (or substitute 1 1/4 cup sugar
• + 1/4 tsp. cornstarch, blended well)
• 2 Tbs. brown sugar
• couple dashes of cinnomon
• couple dashes of nutmeg
• 1/2 cup spiced rum (or whatever liquor you prefer)
• 2 Tbs. white corn syrup (Karo syrup)

Preparation

Step 1

Crush the vanilla wafers and pecans together in a zip-lock bag. Set aside. Sift the brown sugar and icing sugar mixture together in a large bowl. Add the dashes of cinnamon and nutmeg.

Set aside 1/4 cup of the icing sugar for the end.

Measure the spiced rum and mix the corn syrup together well, then pour into the sugar mixture. Add the crushed vanilla wafers and pecans. Mix thoroughly.

Place mixture in freezer for 15 to 20 minutes to firm up. Shape mixture into walnut sized balls and dredge with remaining icing sugar.

Store in airtight container or zip-lock bag.

**Make at least 4-5 days before you want to serve. This will allow them to ferment for best results***
