Eating My Way Through the Holidays! Special Edition: Bourbon Balls! Remember the scene from “The Grinch Stole Christmas” where the adults in Whoville are throwing a key party? Well, I’m convinced they may have been nibbling on holiday Bourbon Balls based on the way they were flirting and having a crazy-fun time. Be forewarned. This recipe does contain chocolate and alcohol. You may want to mention it.
BOURBON BALLS
Ingredients:
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate morsels
3 tablespoons corn syrup
1/2 cup bourbon
2 1/2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
Granulated sugar
Instructions:
Pulse vanilla wafers in a food processor to make crumbs. Set aside. Over hot (not boiling) water, melt chocolate morsels; remove from heat. Blend in corn syrup and bourbon. In a large bowl, combine vanilla wafer crumbs, powdered sugar, and nuts. Add chocolate mixture. Blend well. Chill 30 minutes. Using a melon ball utensil, scoop dough into 1″ balls. Roll in granulated sugar. Store in covered container for several days to season flavor.

Just made your Bourbon balls, although with a twist.
I do not stock Bourbon thus used Baileys and also used mixed nuts, as I did not have pecans available and did not want to shop before making it. I will share a post on my blog once all ready and link back to your post. Thanks for the inspiration.

I remember having bourbon balls when I was in junior high. My friend had made them and I was worried they would alter me chemically some how and I would never be the same.
Now as a Latter Day Saint convert and an adult I am thinking they are a great option. Mormons do not drink alcohol, but baking with it cooks the alcohol out.
Thanks for posting the recipe.
