Here is My Recipe:
Ingredients
1 c. crushed vanilla wafers
1 c. ground pecans or walnuts
1 c. confectioners sugar
2 Tb. cocoa
1 1/2 to 2 1/2 Tb corn syrup
1/4 c. rum or bourbon (more for cook if desired)
Directions
Grind the nuts in a food processor until very finely chopped. This will take a minute or minute and a half.
Mix crushed (fine, but not to a powder!) cookies, nuts, sugar and cocoa. Add combined syrup and rum. Let sit for a few days in the refrigerator; the batter improves with age.
Shape into 3/4-inch diameter balls and roll in confectioners sugar.
