Ingredients

• 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 0.25 cups Heavy cream
• 0.25 cups Whiskey
• 2 cups Vanilla wafer crumbs
• 0.5 cups Powdered sugar
• 0.25 cups Cocoa powder
• 0.5 cups Chopped nuts (optional, such as pecans or walnuts)

Directions

Step 1

In a heat-proof bowl, melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips and heavy cream together. Use the microwave in short 20-second intervals, stirring well between each, until smooth. Alternatively, use a double boiler over simmering water.

Step 2

Let the melted chocolate mixture cool slightly, about 5 minutes.

Step 3

Stir in the whiskey and mix until fully incorporated.

Step 4

In a large bowl, combine the vanilla wafer crumbs, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and chopped nuts (if using).

Step 5

Pour the chocolate and whiskey mixture over the dry ingredients. Mix thoroughly until the mixture is uniform and sticky.

Step 6

Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour, or until firm enough to roll into balls.

Step 7

Once chilled, scoop out small portions of the mixture, roughly 1 tablespoon each, and roll them into smooth balls between your palms.

Step 8

Optionally, roll the balls in additional powdered sugar, cocoa powder, or finely chopped nuts for a decorative coating.

Step 9

Store the Chocolate Whiskey Balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or freeze for longer storage. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
