My take on traditional bourbon balls. I used to make these for Peg every Christmas....accompanied by lots of giggles over the name. Nibble a few. Delish!
Ingredients
- 60 gingersnaps, Nabisco brand shopping list
- 3 tablespoons crystallized ginger shopping list
- 4 teaspoons cocoa powder shopping list
- 1 teaspoon cinnamon shopping list
- 1 1/4 cups powdered sugar shopping list
- 1 1/4 cups pecans shopping list
- 4 tablespoons corn syrup, light shopping list
- 1/3 cup rum, Captain Morgan! shopping list
How to make it
- In food processor, whirl gingersnaps, cocoa, powdered sugar & pecans. Process until fine. Add remaining ingredients and process until well-blended and no dry spots.
- Mix together 1/4 cup of cocoa and 1/2 cup of powdered sugar; mix well. Form dough into 1" balls and roll in cocoa/sugar mixture. Store in airtight container. Best if made a few days ahead to allow flavors to mellow.
