Bourbon Balls - cooking recipe

Ingredients
    3 cups finely crushed vanilla wafers
    1 cup whole pecans, finely chopped
    2 cups powdered sugar
    1/4 cup cocoa
    1/2 cup Bourbon
    1/4 cup light corn syrup
    powdered sugar
Preparation
    Finely crush vanilla sugar wafers in a food processor and measure out 3 cups worth.
    Finely crush 1 cup of whole pecans in a food processor.
    Mix wafers, nuts, powdered sugar, and cocoa.
    Stir in bourbon and corn syrup.
    Using a teaspoon to help gather mixture for each ball, shape mixture into 3/4\" to 1\" balls.
    Rolls balls in powdered sugar. I do this by dropping batches of the balls into a ziplock bag with a bit of powdered sugar in it. Refill some sugar into ziplock bag as needed.
    Refrigerate in tightly covered containers several days before serving (though they are very yummy right away!).
    Makes about 5 to 8 dozen balls.
