MATZAH BALLS, CINDERELLA’S BALL, & BOURBON BALLS

We love bourbon balls, and this recipe from Saveur magazine makes making them really quite easy.

BOURBON BALLS

1 cup finely crushed vanilla wafers
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 1/2 cup of confectioners’ sugar, divided
2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa
2 ounces of kosher bourbon
1 1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup

Combine vanilla wafer crumbs, chopped pecans, and confectioners’ sugar. In a measuring cup, blend the Bourbon and corn syrup; stir into the dry mixture. When thoroughly blended, cover and refrigerate for an hour or more. Sift about 1/2 cup of confectioners’ sugar onto a large piece of waxed paper. Shape small amounts of the dough into balls
then roll in powdered sugar. Store tightly covered in the refrigerator. These can be frozen.
Makes about 3 dozen.
