AMARETTO BON BON BALLS



Amaretto Bon Bon Balls image

Traditionally, I make a double-batch of bourbon balls every Thanksgiving weekend in preparation for gifting during the holiday season. The candies are great and everyone loves them, but I just can't stand the taste of bourbon, in any shape or form. A couple of years ago I raided the liquor cabinet and developed a sauced-up holiday candy that I can eat too! Now I annually produce double-batches of bourbon balls and amaretto bonbons.

Time P7DT30m

Yield 15 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (1 box, crushed, or I have also used 1/2 vanilla wafers and 1/2 chocolate chip cookies)
1 cup almond meal or 1 cup pecan meal (also called "flour", finely ground almonds or pecans)
1 cup confectioners' sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
4 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup amaretto liqueur (I use the Disaronno brand)

Steps:

  • Blend all the ingredients together and shape into 30 one-inch balls.
  • If the mixture turns out too wet/dry, balance it out by adding more powdered (icing) sugar to dry it out or more liquor to moisten it up.
  • Roll the balls in extra powdered sugar, cocoa powder or chocolate milk powder.
  • Store in an airtight container for at least one week before sampling.
  • I have also successfully stored them in the refrigerator and in the freezer.
