Submitted by Paigey Poo

"The original whiskey balls! i ALWAYS make these for Christmas and new years and bring them along to give out everywhere i go. i love them!"

 

• Ready In: 1hr 30mins
• Ingredients: 6
• Serves: 4

ingredients

• 1 (20 ounce) box vanilla wafers
• 1 cup powdered sugar
• 1 cup pecans
• 1 1⁄2 teaspoons cocoa
• 2 tablespoons white Karo
• 1⁄4 cup whiskey

directions

1. we have a food processor that makes crumbling the ingredients up A LOT easier.
2. take the wafers, pecans, cocoa and grind up.
3. add your whiskey and mix (A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY!) (I've tried jack, and crown, and I'm using wild turkey this year. crown has been the best so far).
4. now, the recipe calls for 2 tbsp of Karo syrup, but i can guarantee you, you'll use more. (this is what holds the balls together)
5. add the 2 tbsp and mix and start rolling into 1 inch balls.
6. dip into the powdered sugar and your done. like i mentioned, you'll have to add more syrup as you go, but that's OK, it just makes it taste even sweeter! lol.

Paigey Poo, thanks for the recipe! I was looking for this type of recipe that used the Crown, which I had on hand.
