Ingredients
  

  • 1 - 11 oz box of Nilla Wafers crushed finely I used a food processor
  • 1 cup sifted confectioners sugar
  • 2 Tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
  • 1/2 cup finely chopped pecans I used a food processor
  • 1/4 cup Brandy I used Christian Brother Very Smooth
  • 1/4 cup light corn syrup
  • 1/2 cup sanding sugar for rolling.

Instructions
 

  • Line cookie sheet with parchment set aside.
  • Pour sanding sugar in a bowl, set aside.
  • In a large mixing bowl add wafer crumbs, pecans, confectioners sugar, cocoa powder and mix.
  • Stir in the brandy and corn syrup, mix until well combined, this may take a few minutes.
  • Let mixture sit 5 minutes to let the ingredients soak up the brandy. Stir again.
  • Form into 1 1/2 inch balls and roll in sanding sugar.
  • Set on cookie sheet to set. (I like to make mine the day before so they can marinate overnight).
  • When ready to serve place in a small candy/muffin cup.
  • Store in airtight container.
