bourbon balls

Boozy chocolate treats

Bourbon balls are a no-bake confection made by combining crushed vanilla wafers or pecans with powdered sugar, cocoa, and bourbon whiskey, then rolling the mixture into small balls.

A Southern American holiday treat, they're typically coated in powdered sugar or chocolate: Grandma always made bourbon balls for Christmas.
