Amaretto Bon Bon Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (1 box, crushed, or I have also used 1/2 vanilla wafers and 1/2 chocolate chip cookies)
    1 cup almond meal or 1 cup pecan meal (also called \"flour\", finely ground almonds or pecans)
    1 cup confectioners' sugar
    3 tablespoons cocoa powder
    4 tablespoons light corn syrup
    1/2 cup amaretto liqueur (I use the Disaronno brand)
Preparation
    Blend all the ingredients together and shape into 30 one-inch balls.
    If the mixture turns out too wet/dry, balance it out by adding more powdered (icing) sugar to dry it out or more liquor to moisten it up.
    Roll the balls in extra powdered sugar, cocoa powder or chocolate milk powder.
    Store in an airtight container for at least one week before sampling.
    I have also successfully stored them in the refrigerator and in the freezer.
