  • Prep 20 min
  • Total 96 hr 0 min
  • Servings 24

Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 2 tablespoons honey
  • 1 1/2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafer cookies (about 27 cookies)
  • 1/2 cup ground walnuts
  • 1 tablespoon bourbon
  • Candy decorations or sugar

Steps

  • 1
    Mix chocolate chips and honey in 1 1/2-quart microwavable casserole or bowl. Microwave uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes or until chips can be stirred smooth.
  • 2
    Stir in crushed cookies, walnuts and bourbon. Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in candy decorations.
  • 3
    Store in tightly covered container at least 4 days to develop flavor but no longer than 4 weeks.

  • If they need a little “touch up” after storage, you can re-roll the bourbon balls in powdered sugar just before serving.
  • Powdered sugar a little lumpy? Just put the measured amount you need into a metal kitchen strainer with a glass bowl underneath. Sift the powdered sugar through the strainer using a large kitchen spoon to work out the bumps.
  • These treats are just as scrumptious when almonds, pecans or hazelnuts are used instead of the walnuts.
