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

Directions

Step 1

In a food processor, pulse the vanilla wafer cookies until they form fine crumbs. Transfer the crumbs to a large mixing bowl.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Sift the powdered sugar and cocoa powder into the same mixing bowl. Stir together the dry ingredients until well combined.

Step 4

In a small bowl, whisk together the bourbon and light corn syrup until fully mixed.

Step 5

Pour the bourbon mixture into the dry ingredients and stir until the mixture comes together into a firm dough.

Step 6

Using clean hands, roll the mixture into small, bite-sized balls, about 1 inch in diameter.

Step 7

If desired, roll each ball in granulated sugar to give them a sparkling finish.

Step 8

Place the Bourbon Bites on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.

Step 9

Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
