Ingredients

Cost per serving $0.19 view details
  • 1 cup pecans
  • 8 ounces vanilla wafers, enough to make 2 cups
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened Dutch-processed cocoa, divided
  • 1 cup confectioners' sugar, divided
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup bourbon

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
  2. Spread the pecans on a cookie sheet, and place in the oven for 3 minutes.
  3. For even toasting, turn the tray, front to back. Toss the nuts with a metal spatula and bake for another 3 minutes. You'll know they're done when they give off their fragrant aroma, and be sure to check them so they don't become overbaked or charred.
  4. In a food processor, chop the vanilla wafers into crumbs.
  5. Add the pecans and process just until they are finely chopped.
  6. In a medium bowl, mix together the crumb-pecan mixture, 1/4 cup of the cocoa, and 1/4 cup of the confectioners' sugar.
  7. Add the corn syrup and bourbon. Mix thoroughly.
  8. Sift the remaining 1/4 cup cocoa and 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar onto a large plate.
  9. Form the crumb mixture into 3/4-inch balls and roll them through the cocoa-sugar to coat.
  10. Store in a sealed container for up to 5 days.
  11. If necessary, touch them up with a light dusting of the remaining confectioners' sugar.
