Ingredients
-
2 C. Nilla Vanilla Wafers( 1 Box) - Finely ground
-
1/2 C. Chocolate Wafers (we used Nabisco Famous Chocolate Wafers)- Finely ground
-
2 Tbsp. Cocoa Powder ( we used Hershey’s)
-
1/2 C. Walnuts- Finely chopped
-
1/2 C. Pecans-Finely chopped
-
3 Tbsp. Light Corn Syrup
-
1/4 C. Bourbon
-
1/8-1/4 C. Rum
-
1 C. Powdered Sugar (confectioner’s)
Garnish
-
1/4- 1/2 C. Powdered Sugar (confectioner’s) for dusting
Directions
In a medium bowl, mix together all of the dry ingredient (except the 1/4-1/2 cup of powdered sugar needed for dusting later) until well combined.
Next, add the light corn syrup, Bourbon, and Rum to the dry mixture.
Mix with a wooden spoon until you have a sticky mix and ingredients are combined well.
Pour the remaining 1/4-1/2 cup of powdered sugar into a shallow bowl and begin to roll your balls.
Roll each spoonful into a 1 inch ball with your hands and then, roll them in the powdered sugar.
Place them onto a prepared plate or in cookie tins lined with parchment paper ready for gifting.
These little morsels of yumm should last for 1-2 weeks, if stored in a ziplock or airtight container, but they rarely last that long!
Recipe Note
You can also use all Rum or all Bourbon or even spiced Rum for a different flavor.
