Bourbon Balls

Sift together:
2 T cocoa (2 T)
1 C powdered sugar (1 C)

Stir in:
1/4 C bourbon (1/2 C)
combined with
2 T light corn syrup (2 T)

Add:
2 1/2 C crushed vanilla wafers (3 C or one box)
1 C broken pecans (1 C)

Mix throroughly. Roll mix into small balls; dredge in powdered sugar. These treats are best if you can stash them in a sealed container for a week or more before feasting.

I use a food processor to crumb the cookies and chop the pecans, in separate batches.

The amounts on the left are as per the recipe. I use the amounts in the parentheses for better results, at least how I measure things. Takes more bourbon, too!—try a scant 1/2 cup.
