Chocolate Whiskey Balls

Chocolate lovers will appreciate this variation of this popular dessert. These also freeze really well for holiday parties.

Ingredients

  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans
  • 1 cup finely crumbled chocolate wafer cookies
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 1/2 tbsp light Karo Syrup
  • 1/4 cup whiskey
  • Powdered sugar for rolling

Directions

Step 1

Note: Time shown includes the time for rolling the balls.

Step 2

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 3

Finely crush the chocolate wafers and pecans (easiest in the food processor).

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the wafers, pecans, sugar, corn syrup and whiskey. Mix until a thick dough is formed.

Step 5

Rolling the dough between your hands, form one-inch balls. Roll the balls in powdered sugar. Store in an airtight container.
