Taken from a class on cooking with liqueur in Tucson. Makes 24 bon bons.
3 1/2 cups vanilla wafers
2 tbsp unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup powdered sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup Southern Comfort
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
6 oz semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 tbsp butter
Grind vanilla wafers until finely ground. In a large bowl combine wafers, cocoa, powdered sugar, corn syrup, Southern Comfort, and walnuts. Roll mixture into bite-size balls.
Melt chocolate chips and butter in microwave until smooth and shiny. Dip rolled balls in the melted chocolate and place on wax paper (can use skewers). Refrigerate until chocolate shell has hardened. Serve cold.
