Experience the Holidays: 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.

Naturally, non-alcoholic substitutions are totally acceptable. Rum-flavored extract, for instance. 🍂
