MINT JULEP BALLS

"Since this contains alcohol, it is a treat only for adults without a sensitivity to alcohol."

2 cups crumbled vanilla wafers
1 cup confectioner's sugar, plus additional for dusting
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa
1 cup finely chopped walnuts or pecans
1/4 cup bourbon
1-1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 teaspoon peppermint extract

In a large bowl, combine the wafer crumbs, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, the cocoa powder, and nuts until well mixed.

Add the bourbon, corn syrup, and peppermint extract and mix with your hands until the mixture holds together.

Form the mixture into 1-inch balls and dust with additional confectioner's sugar.

Store in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Makes about 3 dozen
