Yes, another recipe from my mother – a holiday favorite. Nominally for the adults only, I always managed to sneak a few!
Makes 2-3 dozen, depending on size.
Ingredients
3 cups rolled vanilla wafers (12 oz box)
1 cup powdered sugar
1½ cups finely chopped nuts
1½ tablespoons cocoa
2 tbsp white Karo syrup
½ cup bourbon
Wax paper
Instructions
Line baking sheet or large plate with wax paper.
Mix wafers, nuts, and cocoa in one bowl, pour powdered sugar in its own bowl.
Mix Karo and bourbon separately, then pour into wafer/nut/cocoa bowl, mix well.
Form one ball at a time, sized to taste – typically, about an inch in diameter.
Roll each in powdered sugar and place on wax paper.
If needed, wrap entirely in wax paper and store in freezer.
