Substitute rum for bourbon, chocolate wafers for vanilla wafers. Age in tin for optimal flavor.
Ingredients:
  • 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
  • 0.5 cup bourbon
  • 0.25 cup corn syrup
  • 3 cups crushed vanilla wafers
  • 1.5 cups ground walnuts
  • 24 candied cherries, halved
  • 0.5 cup confectioners' sugar
Instructions:
  • Melt chocolate chips until smooth in the microwave or over a double boiler, stirring occasionally. Remove from heat and stir in bourbon and corn syrup.
  • Combine crushed vanilla wafers and ground walnuts in a medium bowl. Mix in the chocolate mixture using your hands until well blended. Form into 1-inch balls, press a cherry half into the center of each, and coat each cookie in confectioners' sugar.
  • Allow the flavors to develop by storing in an airtight container for a minimum of one week before enjoying.
