Plate full of Good Cheer
I pushed my gift-making to the very last minute this year. One of these were the above creations...that I whipped up one morning before work...
The most time consuming part about this recipe is rolling the treats into little balls...I almost ran out of time!
Whisky Balls
1 cup crushed pecans
1 cup crushed chocolate wafer cookies
1 cup confectioners sugar
1 1/2 TBS of light corn syrup (I used agave nectar...or honey would work too...healthier than the corn syrup)
1/4 cup of whisky (this time, I used Glenfiddich)
Extra Confectioners sugar for rolling
Mix all dry ingredients well, then add the syrup/nectar/or honey :) and whisky...mix well...shape into balls and roll in confectioners sugar. (I added some unsweetened, organic cocoa powder to the rolling sugar :)
Makes 2-3 dozen...
I bought some fun confection boxes and little wrappers for them too:
These are always a big hit!
This is my last post for 2011! Of course, it had to include some whisky ;)
HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!
