(My Old Kentucky Homes cookbook)

2 T. cocoa 1 c. powdered sugar

2 T. light corn syrup ¼ c. bourbon

2 c. crushed vanilla wafers

1 c. chopped pecans

Mix powdered sugar and cocoa. Mix together bourbon and corn syrup then combine with the sugar mixture. Add crumbs and nuts and mix well. Roll into balls and coat with powdered sugar. Let dry.

Variation: Roll into balls and don't coat with powdered sugar. Let dry. Dip in chocolate.
