How To make Cocoa Bourbon Balls
1 c Vanilla wafer cookies,
-finely crushed 1 c Confectioner's sugar
2 tb Cocoa
1 c Pecans, finely chopped
2 tb Corn syrup
1/2 c Bourbon
Combine dry ingredients and mix well. Add corn syrup and bourbon and mix well. If too moist add a few cookie crumbs, if too dry add a little more bourbon. Shape into small balls and roll in fruit sugar or fonely chopped pecans. I also roll some in cocoa powder. Store in an airtight container. NOTES : Also good made with dark rum. One year I made with Southern Comfort and everyone liked them.

Betty's Version of Maker's Mark Bourbon Balls
Betty demonstrates how to make delicious and seasonal Bourbon Balls, made from the recipe of Maker's Mark. I received this recipe when Rick and I went on a tour of Maker's Mark Distillery in Loretto, Kentucky. (If you are interested in the tour, please view my video, Betty's Trip to Maker's Mark Distillery with Rick.) I wanted to share this recipe with you because it is a perfect candy to have on hand as the holiday season approaches. This candy freezes well, so you can make it early on and have it ready for guests at a moment's notice! I also like them when I have a taste for just a little something sweet. I actually like them better frozen!
Betty's Version of Maker's Mark Bourbon Balls
1 pound box confectioner's sugar
1 stick melted butter
½ cup Maker's Mark bourbon whisky
1 cup chopped pecans
(Also needed: chocolate and paraffin for coating)
Soak nuts in bourbon overnight. Combine all ingredients (except coating materials) and refrigerate until firm. Roll in small balls and dip in Bakers semi-sweet chocolate melted with paraffin. (I used a 12 oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips, mixed with 1 oz. paraffin in a double boiler. I then coated the bourbon balls with the chocolate mixture, and placed them on waxed paper to set up. I placed a single half-pecan piece on the top of each piece of candy, and pressed it lightly while the coating was still hot. I let the finished bourbon balls cool. You can use a refrigerator or freezer to speed up the process. Then I placed them in a candy dish for serving. These bourbon balls are wonderful for serving during the holiday season; also, they make great gifts! Enjoy!!! --And Thanks! to Maker's Mark!
