This is Priscilla Lasecki Kieber’s recipe card for Bourbon Balls. They are a traditional holiday hit in our house, though we substitute rum (maybe the Dominican influence, eh Kat?).
3 cups (1 box) crushed vanilla wafers
1 cup powder sugar
1 Cup nuts
3 Tablespoon corn syrup
3 Tablespoons cocoa
1/2 cup bourbon (Jack Daniels)
Combine first 5 ingredients and mix well. Add liquor. Mix well and chill 2-3 hours.
Form into balls and roll in powdered sugar.
