Ingredients

• 1 cup crushed Vanilla wafer cookies (grind in food processor)
• 1 cup powdered confectioners sugar
• 1 cup ground pecans
• 1/4 cup Bourbon
• 2 tablespoons cocoa powder
• 1 tablespoon light corn syrup (such as Karo)
• 10 ounces egg nog flavored candy melts such as Wilton Eggnog Candy Melts
• ground nutmeg

Directions

• In a medium bowl, add the ground wafer cookies, powdered sugar, pecans and cocoa powder. Stir to combine well. Add the bourbon and corn syrup and stir until the mixture comes together and is well incorporated. Using a small hinged scoop or a teaspoon, make balls and place on a parchment lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining mixture and place the baking sheet in the freezer for 20 minutes.
• Using a double boiler, add the egg nog candy melts to the top and melt slowly. Stir the candy melts just to combine. Drop one chilled bourbon ball in the candy and using a fork flip it over to coat. Tap the fork on the side of the double boiler to remove excess candy and place back on the parchment lined baking sheet. Sprinkle the wet candy with a tiny pinch of ground nutmeg. Repeat with the remaining bourbon balls. Refrigerate or consume immediately.
