  1. Delicious, rich and definitely sweet -- these Irish Cream Balls will satisfy any sweet tooth. I'll have to ration these away from DH or they will be gone in no time. I did lessen the Baileys a little and offset it to make the balls moist enough to roll. Made for the Sweet December tag game.
     
  2. Yummy little suckers, but keep them from the kiddies -- they're a tad boozy for them! I used some crushed animal crackers in place of the vanilla wafers (didn't feel like shopping). I accidentally found that I had a much easier time rolling these into balls after the mixture sat for a while. I had mixed everything together and started to roll the balls after a few minutes, but the mixture was super-sticky. I went off to do something else for a while (maybe for an hour or so), and the mixture was much easier to work with after allowing the liquids to soak in more thoroughly. As with all powdered sugar-coated goodies, they need to be eaten carefully (preferably not with dark clothes on) -- I ate a few and came out looking like one of the cookies myself, lol!
