Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 200 grams Vanilla wafer cookies
- 1 cup Pecans
- 1.5 cups Powdered sugar
- 2 tablespoons Cocoa powder
- 0.25 cup Bourbon
- 2 tablespoons Light corn syrup
- 0.25 cup Optional: Granulated sugar
Instructions
In a food processor, pulse the vanilla wafer cookies until they form fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl.
Add the pecans to the food processor and pulse until finely chopped, but not a paste. Add the chopped pecans to the mixing bowl with the cookie crumbs.
Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder into the same mixing bowl. Stir together the dry ingredients until well combined.
In a small bowl, whisk together the bourbon and light corn syrup until fully mixed.
Pour the bourbon mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture comes together into a firm dough.
Using clean hands, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.
If desired, roll each ball in granulated sugar to give them a sparkling finish.
Place the Bourbon Bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
