Sharon’s Bourbon Balls
These will be the hit of any holiday party. Give them to your friends and they’ll be expecting/demanding them every year! I give them away in little holiday tins and have even been known to do refills. The original recipe from over 30 years ago was Rum Balls. Over the years as our family’s southern roots have grown deeper we've changed from rum to bourbon. We have even had taste testing with different types of bourbon and Woodford Reserve has won out. Every year friends say that these are the best ones, yet!
Ingredients:
1 – 11 oz pkg vanilla wafers crushed
1 cup pecans finely chopped
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons dark cocoa powder
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
½ cup bourbon
Directions:
Stir ingredients together.
Shape into small balls about 1 inch, any size works though.
Roll in more powdered sugar.
Tip – the crushing and chopping is a good job for a food processor.
