Steps:
- In a food processor, crush the vanilla wafers until they are fine crumbs.
- Combine the crushed vanilla wafers, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, chopped pecans, corn syrup (not corn starch), and rum.
- Stir until mixed. I used my hands because it's much easier.
- Pinch off pieces and roll them into balls the size of a large marble. Roll each on in powdered sugar.
- Set them aside on a plate. Let them rest for about 10 minutes and then roll them in a second coating of powdered sugar.
- It's best to wait a few hours before eating. It takes a little while for all of the flavors to bloom.

Steps:
- 1. In a food processor or electric chopper, blend up Vanilla Wafers (or Graham Crackers) until it reaches a mealy consistency. Add all ingredients together in a bowl, except powdered sugar. Roll them into pecan or walnut-sized balls. If they are too dry, add a tiny bit more corn syrup, or if too moist and are hard to form, add a little more processed vanilla wafers. When rolled to the size you want, roll in powdered sugar.
- 2. This makes about 2 dozen balls.(Don't make them too big!) Cover and refrigerate until serving. These can also be made without the liquor so kids can enjoy them. May have to add more prepared wafers to make up for the omitted liquid.
- 3. If you are taking these to a party, one batch may not be enough! Note: For a more interesting taste, use coffee liquer, or a peppermint, or butterscotch schnapps for the flavor instead of rum or bourbon, whiskey, etc. Warning!! Don't eat too many of these and drive! During the Holidays and always, eat and drink responsibly anything containing alcohol! Happy Holidays and Bon Apetit' Y'all!
