CHOCOLATE WALNUT KAHLUA BALLS (NO BAKE)
I have made these using dark rum, Grand Marnier and Bailey's Irish Cream, you can use any three with success.. I usually make these treats around the holiday season, but of coarse you can make them at any time. I make one batch using semisweet chocolate and one with white chocolate, these really should chill overnight before serving them, you'll be lucky if they make until the next day LOL! Yield is only estimated depending on the size of the balls --- you will LOVE these! :)

Steps:
- 1. whisk together the Vanilla wafer crumbs,and powdered sugar. (At this point if you are making 2 different flavored balls. Divide the ingredients in half in to 2 bowls) (If making one flavored ball recipe skip dividing cookie sugar mixture)
- 2. Add liquor.Don't forget to cut Liquor in half if divided in 2 bowls. 2 ball recipes 1/2 cup liquor each bowl!! Choose liquor and mix in really really well with your hands. 1/2 cup Kahlua mixed with 1/2 cup of Baileys Irish cream,For mudslide balls. (1 cup Baileys Irish cream) or ( 1 cup Kahlua) Choose liquor and mix in really really well with your hands.
- 3. Add the corn syrup last. Mix well with your hands.Refrigerate for a couple hours,or put in the freezer for an hour. You want the dough to be stiff enough to make balls with.
- 4. make small balls about 1- 1 1/2 inches wide. Line up on wax paper lined pan.
- 5. melt the chocolate chips in a double boiler with 1 tsp of shortening.stir until melted. Dip balls in chocolate. I use a dinner teaspoon to coat them. (if you are going to roll them in nuts. Do so at this time,and put on waxed paper)or sprinkle with colored candies etc. while chocolate is still liquid on the balls.If not then Let some chocolate drip of before putting on a wax paper lined sheet pan.
- 6. put in fridge for a bit until chocolate sets up.There you have it. All done. store on loose covered container. I usually keep mine in the fridge and take out before serving.
- 7. To make the balls look like mine. I put colored white chocolate candy melts in a food processor to grind up for sprinkling on balls. Red and green for Christmas. Easter or other holidays use different colors like pastels. etc.

Steps:
- Chop or crush cookies quite fine.
- Measure out 1 1/2 cups of crushed cookies and mix with remaining ingredients except dipping chocolate.
- Form into small balls, about one inch in diameter.
- Roll balls in remaining cookie crumbs (for best results, have the crumbs crushed very fine).
- OR, refrigerate balls for 1 hour and then dip in melted chocolate; return to refrigerator to set chocolate.
- Store in airtight container in refrigerator.
- NOTE: If you want to make a non-alcoholic version, just substitute Kahlua flavored syrup, which can be found in the coffee section of most supermarkets.
- Change the liqueur/syrup flavor to make Amaretto Balls, Irish Cream Balls, or whatever suits you.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. A semisweet or bittersweet chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 60% is ideal.
- Make sure the Kahlua is cold before adding it to the chocolate mixture. This will help to prevent the chocolate from seizing.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water. Make sure the bottom of the bowl doesn't touch the water.
- Let the chocolate mixture cool slightly before dipping the cookies. This will help to prevent the chocolate from running off the cookies.
- If you want to make the cookies even more festive, you can decorate them with sprinkles, chopped nuts, or candy canes.

These no-bake chocolate Kahlua Christmas balls are a delicious and easy-to-make holiday treat. They're perfect for parties, cookie exchanges, or just enjoying at home. With their rich chocolate flavor and Kahlua kick, these cookies are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
