Ingredients

1 cup finely crushed vanilla wafers

1 cup finely chopped pecans (I use a grinder)

powdered sugar, cocoa powder, finely shredded coconut, OR finely chopped nuts for coating the balls

Directions

Combine vanilla wafer crumbs, the pecans, the confectioner’s sugar and the cocoa powder;

When thoroughly blended, cover and refrigerate for at least an hour;

Shape dough into balls, maybe two teaspoons per ball. Roll each ball in powdered sugar, cocoa powder, finely shredded coconut, or finely chopped nuts;

Store in the refrigerator.

My mom never put them in the fridge...swore by leaving them in cookie tins for 3 days before eating. They always tasted super "rum" like, and very very tasty! Maybe these are different? (yum!)
