Bourbon Balls for New Year's Eve

Bourbon balls are a holiday favorite among SOME of my family.  This year, I didn't get them made in time for Christmas, so I made them for New Year's Eve.
All you need is a few ingredients and a little time!
Granny's Bourbon Balls

3 cups vanilla wafers, finely crushed. (11 oz. box)
1 cup pecans, finely chopped
1 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup bourbon

Mix all ingredients, then blend in bourbon. Shape into a large ball. Then pinch off pieces and roll into little balls. Roll the balls in powdered sugar and store in an airtight container.

I think I'll have a few to celebrate getting all my Christmas decorations packed and ready for the attic!

C'all Yum Back! LOL

    These look great. They were my mom and hubby's favorite treat. Have a nice week.

    I'm glad I'm not the only one who didn't get all her baking done during the holidays. I still have ingredients I need to make up but these look delicious.

    These are so good! I made them one year for Christmas. Another one we really love is what we call "cookie balls" with the peanut butter and chocolate. Oh yum! :-) Thanks so much for your sweet birthday wishes!
