    List of Ingredients






    Makes 30 balls

    1 cup coarsely chopped pecans

    1-¼ cups powdered sugar, divided

    2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa

    ½ teaspoon salt

    ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon

    ¼ teaspoon ground nutmeg

    ½ teaspoon ground red pepper (optional)

    ¼ cup bourbon

    2 tablespoons sorghum*

    60 vanilla wafers, finely crushed (about 2 cups plus 2 tablespoons)

    Place pecans in a single layer in a shallow pan. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 to 10 minutes or until toasted.

    Sift together 1 cup powdered sugar, next 4 ingredients, and, if desired, ground red pepper.

    Stir together bourbon and sorghum. Gradually add powdered sugar mixture to bourbon mixture, stirring until blended. Stir in vanilla wafers and toasted pecans; stir 1 minute. (Place a small amount of mixture in palm of hand, and make a fist around mixture, testing to be sure dough will hold its shape. If not, continue to stir in 20-second intervals.)

    Shape mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in remaining ¼ cup powdered sugar and place on a wax paper-lined baking sheet.

    Chill 1 hour or until slightly firm. Store in an airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week.

    *Molasses, honey or cane syrup may be substituted.
