Fudgy Bourbon Balls

These delicious, no-bake treats are easy to make. You can substitute rum for the
bourbon if desired. They can also be made kid-friendly by using apple cider
instead of alcohol.

🧂 Ingredients

2 ½ cups chocolate animal cracker crumbs (or chocolate graham cracker crumbs)

(260 grams; 4 cups if using whole animal crackers)
1 ½ cups pecans

( ~175 grams), toasted and cooled
½ cup bourbon

(4 ounces) (I use a smooth one, like Four Roses)
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 ½ tablespoons honey or molasses

(32 grams)
granulated sugar or other toppings to roll balls in

Instructions

1 Combine chocolate animal crackers and pecans in a large food processor. Process
until pecans are finely ground.
2 Add bourbon, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and honey to the food processor and
process until everything is well combined and smooth.
3 If desired (or if the dough seems loose and wet), let rest at room temperature,
covered, for at least 30 minutes, and up to 4 hours, to let the mixture absorb
the liquid completely.
4 Scoop dough into 1-inch or 2-teaspoon balls - but really, whatever size you
would like. Roll them in granulated sugar or other toppings. Store in an
airtight container, at room temperature. (Or you can store them uncovered for a
little while if you want them to develop a crust.) Bourbon balls keep for at
least a month, if you don't eat them all by then.
