Chocolate Whiskey Balls Recipe
Ingredients
1 cup of pecans
1 cup of chocolate wafer cookie crumbs
1 cup of icing sugar (also known as confectioner’s sugar)
1 1/2 tablespoons of corn syrup
1/4 cup Scotch whiskey
additional icing sugar for rolling the balls
Method
Using your food processor or another grinder, grind the pecans and the chocolate wafers together. This mixture should be coarse.
Place the chocolate-nut mixture into a bowl and add the icing sugar, whiskey, and corn syrup. Mix this well, using your hands if desired.
Make balls the size of walnuts with your mixture. Roll these balls in the additional icing sugar.
Put your chocolate whiskey balls on a tray or other flat dish and refrigerate. Chill at least four hours before serving.
