Chocolate bourbon or rum balls

5 Dozen

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
-Natalie Canfield(sxnj32b)
1 Semisweet chocolate morsels (6 oz)
½ cup Bourbon
3 tablespoons Light corn syrup
2½ cup Vanilla wafer crumbs
½ cup Powdered sugar; sifted
1 cup Pecans; finely chopped
Powdered sugar

Directions

Melt chocolate morsels in top of double boiler or in microwave. When smoothly melted, remove from heat and stir in bourbon and corn syrup.

Set aside. Combine crumbs, powdered sugar and pecans. Mix well. Stir into chocolate mixture; let stand 30 minutes. Shape into 1" balls.

Roll in sugar. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator.

Yield: about 5 dozen. Got this from December '84 issue of Southern Living magazine. These are wonderful--now a holiday tradition at our house! You can substitute english walnuts for the pecans. You can also use rum instead of bourbon. I have tried several combinations, but find the original the best to my taste.
