Instructions

Get Prepped

  1. Crush the vanilla wafers and chop the pecans finely. Measure out the powdered sugar, cocoa powder, bourbon, corn syrup, and vanilla extract. Separate 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons of cocoa powder for rolling.

Toast the Pecans

  1. In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast the chopped pecans for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until they are fragrant and lightly browned. Allow them to cool.

Mix the Ingredients

  1. In a large bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, toasted pecans, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir in the bourbon, corn syrup, and vanilla extract until the mixture is well combined and forms a dough.

Shape the Balls

  1. Using a small cookie scoop or your hands, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls.

Roll the Balls

  1. In a small bowl, mix together the additional 1/2 cup powdered sugar and 2 tablespoons cocoa powder.
  2. Roll each ball in the powdered sugar and cocoa powder mixture to coat.

Chill

  1. Place the bourbon balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours to allow the flavors to meld and the balls to firm up.

Serve

Notes

  • Cooking Tips • Use quality bourbon. The flavor of the bourbon is prominent, so choose one you enjoy drinking. • Make ahead. Bourbon balls taste even better after sitting for a day or two, allowing the flavors to meld. • Store properly. Keep bourbon balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator to maintain their texture and flavor.
