One of the more popular holiday candies. You can easily substitute the whiskey with another liquor, if you prefer.
Ingredients
- 2 cups finely chopped pecans
- 1 box vanilla wafers
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup cocoa
- 1/4 cup corn syrup
- 1/2 cup Jack Daniel's Tennessee Whiskey
Directions
Step 1
Toast your pecans by arranging them in a single layer on a cookie sheet and bake for 10 minutes in a 350 degree oven (alternatively, 2-3 minutes in the microwave works, as well).
Step 2
Finely crush the vanilla wafers and pecans (easiest in the food processor).
Step 3
Combine all ingredients in a large glass bowl. Blend well with your hands. I find putting on a pair of gloves makes forming the balls much easier (and less messy!).
Step 4
Rolling the dough between your hands, form one-inch balls. Roll the balls in powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container.
