Whiskey balls

Whiskey Balls

My family makes these every year around Christmas time; they are quite tasty. By the time they have been stored for several days, the alcohol should have evaporated.

2 c. vanilla wafer crumbs [We put the vanilla wafers in a food processor.]

1 c. finely chopped walnuts

1 c. confectioners’ sugar

2 T. cocoa

3 T. dark corn syrup

6 T. whiskey

pinch salt

1) Combine all ingredients thoroughly.

2) Using a tablespoon of the mixture for each candy/cookie, roll into ball.

3) Roll in granulated sugar.

4) Store in cereal containers for several days. [My family uses metal tins. Any sort of airtight container would work.]
