1 c. pecans
1 12 oz. box vanilla wafers
1 c. confectioner’s sugar
2 tbsp. bittersweet cocoa
1/2 c. bourbon
1/4 c. light corn syrup
Directions:
Eat a vanilla wafer to make sure they are good. Then pulse wafers in a food processor until they are crumbs. Toast pecans in the oven until fragrant, about 4 minutes at 400 degrees. Pulse pecans, sugar, and cocoa in with wafers to combine into a nice crumb mixture. Combine whiskey with corn syrup. Add to crumbs. Use hands to combine. Wash hands to get big clumps off. Roll into balls. It’s helpful to squish a blob of dough back and forth between your hands 6-7 times to mush it together before rolling.
