Ingredients

  • 11 ounces vanilla waffer cookies crushed
  • 1 cup chopped pecans (approximately 1 1/4 cup prior to chopping)
  • 1 cup powdered sugar (plus approximately 3/4 cup more for rolling)
  • 1/3 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/4 cup rum (I prefer using dark spiced rum)

Instructions

  • Combine all of the ingredients in a large bowl. Mix together with a kitchen spoon or a stiff wooden spoon. The mixture will be thick and sticky.
  • Use a tablespoon to make balls. Roll them in extra powdered sugar before transfering to a wax paper lined tray. Let dry for 30 minutes before storing in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
