Walnut Bourbon Balls

This recipe is a much requested favorite with Vanilla Bee Farms customers. It is adapted from an old Means family recipe.

Ingredients

2 1/2 C finely crushed Vanilla Wafers
2 C Powdered sugar
2 Tbsp cocoa powder
1 C finely chopped walnuts
3 Tbsp light corn syrup
7 Tbsp Vanilla Bee Farms Bourbon Vanilla
Granulated sugar

Instructions

Start by combining the Vanilla Wafers, powdered sugar, cocoa, and chopped nuts until well blended. Stir in the syrup and aromatic Bourbon vanilla. Ensure the dough is firm enough to mold. Form the dough into petite rounds and coat them in sugar. Keep in a sealed jar. They stay fresh long and freeze easily. Makes approximately 130 pieces.

Here at Vanilla Bee Farms we use a food processor both to crush the Vanilla Wafers and to chop the walnuts.
