Bourbon Balls
- Ready In:
- 40mins
- Ingredients:
- 7
- Yields:
-
8 dozen balls
- Serves:
- 48
ingredients
- 3 cups finely crushed vanilla wafers
- 1 cup whole pecans, finely chopped
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1⁄4 cup cocoa
- 1⁄2 cup Bourbon
- 1⁄4 cup light corn syrup
- powdered sugar
directions
- Finely crush vanilla sugar wafers in a food processor and measure out 3 cups worth.
- Finely crush 1 cup of whole pecans in a food processor.
- Mix wafers, nuts, powdered sugar, and cocoa.
- Stir in bourbon and corn syrup.
- Using a teaspoon to help gather mixture for each ball, shape mixture into 3/4" to 1" balls.
- Rolls balls in powdered sugar. I do this by dropping batches of the balls into a ziplock bag with a bit of powdered sugar in it. Refill some sugar into ziplock bag as needed.
- Refrigerate in tightly covered containers several days before serving (though they are very yummy right away!).
- Makes about 5 to 8 dozen balls.

I've enjoyed baking and cooking since I was a little girl. I wish I had more time in the kitchen, but I keep a busy pace here in NYC. I became a premium member Jan. 1, 2009 as holiday gift to myself in hopes of amalgamating my favorite recipes and discovering new ones all in one place!
