Marjorie's Candies BURBON PECAN BALLS - Great for the Holidays

Burbon Pecan Balls - Great for the Holidays
2 1/2 cups crushed vanilla wafers - 1 reg. box
1 1/4 cups coarsely chopped pecans
2 TBs. dark corn syrup
Roll the balls in:
6 Tbs unsweeted cocoa
1/2 cup confection's sugar

To make the Balls:
1. Put the vanilla wafers in a zip lock bag and crush till they are fine using a rolling pin.
2. Put the crushed cookies in a large enough bowl to mix in the pecans and the unsweetened cocoa, then stir.
3. Add the Bourbon and stir
4. In a separate bowl combine the powdered sugar and the cocoa . (a pie pan would be great for rolling the balls around on the powdered sugar/cocoa mixture)
5. Make small balls approx. 1 1/2 tsp of bourbon ball mixture.
6. Place the ball in the powdered sugar mixture and roll around to coat the ball.
Makes about 25 balls.
Place the balls in well sealed container and store in a cool place for weeks. I pour some of the left over powdered sugar mixture over the balls in their storage container. They will rippen and a develop a stronger bourbon flavor with time.
