Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Bourbon Chocolate Balls.
Step 1
Start by placing your vanilla wafer cookies in a food processor and pulse them until they turn into fine crumbs.
Step 2
Once you have those delicious crumbs, transfer them to a large mixing bowl.
Step 3
Next, add some pecans to the food processor and grind them until they’re finely chopped, then mix them into the bowl with the cookie crumbs.
Step 4
Now, it’s time to sweeten things up! Stir in a cup of confectioners' sugar, a splash of bourbon whiskey, cocoa powder, and corn syrup.
Step 5
Mix everything together until it’s well combined and holds together nicely.
Step 6
With your mixture ready, roll it into bite-sized balls, about three-quarters of an inch in diameter.
Step 7
For the finishing touch, spread some flaked coconut on one plate and place a quarter cup of confectioners' sugar on another.
Step 8
Gently roll each ball in the coconut first, then in the sugar, ensuring they’re evenly coated for that perfect sweet crunch.
Step 9
Once you’ve coated all the balls, arrange them on a platter, cover with plastic wrap, and pop them in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Step 10
This chilling time helps them firm up, making them even more delightful to enjoy later.
