In the kitchen on Thursday: Since a friend asked...

Bourbon Balls (from the Derbytown Winners cookbook)

1 C. Vanilla Wafer crumbs
1 C. chopped Pecans
1 C. Powdered Sugar
2 Tbsp. Cocoa powder
2 jiggers Bourbon
1 1/2 tsp. Corn Syrup

Blend the dry ingredients. Then blend in the wet ingredients. Form into balls and roll in powdered sugar if you want. Refrigerate until ready to serve.

Variations:
1. Try chocolate wafers
2. Substitute flavored liquor or rum for the bourbon
3. Roll in ground flaked cocoanut instead of powdered sugar

What is a jigger?
