I’ve tried several recipes for whiskey balls, and the mixture always comes out too wet to form balls. My grandmother used to make these, and I finally figured out my own recipe that’s as close to hers as I could get.
Ingredients
- 1 (12 ounce) package vanilla wafer cookies
- 8 ounces pecans
- 1 cup confectioners' sugar
- ½ cup bourbon whiskey
- 3 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
- 2 tablespoons light corn syrup
- ½ cup flaked coconut, or to taste (Optional)
- ¼ cup confectioners' sugar, or to taste, for rolling
Directions
Step 1
Grind cookies in a food processor into fine crumbs; transfer to a large bowl.
Step 2
Grind pecans in the food processor; add to cookie crumbs in the bowl. Stir in 1 cup confectioners' sugar, bourbon whiskey, cocoa powder, and corn syrup until mixture holds together; roll into 3/4-inch balls.
Step 3
Spread coconut onto a plate and 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar onto a separate plate. Roll balls in coconut and sugar to coat. Arrange balls onto a platter, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate until hardened, at least 1 hour.
Tips
Store whiskey balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator.
