- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1/2 cup bourbon
- 1 cup pecans, finely chopped
- 1/2 cup sugar
- 3 tablespoons light corn syrup
- 2 1/2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafers

Instructions
Place chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on high for 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until chocolate is melted. Add bourbon, pecans, sugar, corn syrup and crushed vanilla wafers; stir well. Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll half the bourbon balls in cocoa powder and half in powdered sugar. Transfer to an airtight container, separating layers with waxed paper. Store at room temperature overnight to allow flavors to develop. Bourbon Balls will keep for up to 2 weeks.
