Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup vanilla wafer cookies, crushed
- 2 cups powdered sugar
- 1 cup chopped pecans
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 8 oz semi-sweet chocolate, for dipping
- 1/4 cup cream or coconut cream
Instructions
- Prepare the Mixture: Crush the vanilla wafers into fine crumbs.
- Combine Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix the crushed wafers, powdered sugar, and chopped pecans. Add the bourbon and mix until the mixture forms a sticky dough.
- Form the Balls: Shape the mixture into balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- Chill: Refrigerate the balls for about an hour to firm them up.
- Melt the Chocolate: Melt the semi-sweet chocolate and cream in the microwave, stirring until smooth.
- Dip the Balls: Dip each chilled ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess to drip off, and return them to the parchment sheet.
- Set: Let the chocolate set at room temperature or refrigerate to speed up the process.
- Serve: Enjoy your chocolate-dipped bourbon balls once the coating has hardened!
Notes
For added flair, sprinkle sea salt on top or roll the balls in crushed nuts before the chocolate sets.
