Recipe Category: Dessert

Amazingly delicious chocolate balls simply dripping with bourbon. Essence of bourbon. No delicate infusions here. It's the real thing. Legend has it you could fall into a diabetic coma before you'd ever get pulled over for drunk driving. Two of those and you'll have to take a taxi home...
Serves 30
Ingredients
- 12 cups crushed vanilla wafers (4 Original Nilla boxes)
- 3/4 cup dark corn syrup
- 6 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
- 4 cups icing sugar
- 5 cups chopped pecans
- 3 cups bourbon
Directions: Mix vanilla wafers, corn syrup, cocoa powder, 4 cups icing sugar, 4 cups pecans, and bourbon. Refrigerate 12 hours.
Shape into balls. Roll balls into remaining finely chopped pecans. Keep cool or refrigerated.
Makes about 6 dozen.
