Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Pulse the wafers and pine nuts in a food processor until well ground up. Add the butter and blend until evenly mixed. Set aside 1/4 cup of crumbs; press the rest evenly into a 9-by-13 baking pan. Bake until golden brown, 15 to 18 minutes. Cool.
- In a medium bowl, thoroughly whisk together the tequila, lime juice, egg yolks and condensed milk.
- In another medium bowl, beat the egg whites and sugar with an electric mixer until they hold soft peaks. Gently fold the egg whites into the tequila mixture. Spread the filling evenly over the crust and bake for 25 minutes; cool. Sprinkle the reserved crumbs on top. Chill in the fridge for 2 hours or overnight before cutting. Drizzle with agave nectar, if desired.

MARGARITA BALLS
There are never enough of these! I could bring 12 dozen to my office and one co-worker (who's not a drinker) would eat them all. For those who don't like a strong alcohol flavor this is the way to go. Yumm! It's hard for me to estimate the prep time since I do bits and pieces at different times, so what I've listed is just assembly, not the time for blanching and grinding almonds and crushing cookies.

Tips:
- To make the tequila balls as round as possible, use a melon baller or small cookie scoop to shape the dough. You can also roll the dough into small balls by hand.
- Be sure to freeze the tequila balls for at least 30 minutes before serving. This will help them hold their shape and prevent them from becoming too soft.
- If you don't have any tequila on hand, you can substitute another type of alcohol, such as vodka or rum. However, tequila is the traditional ingredient for this recipe.
- To make the tequila balls even more festive, you can decorate them with sprinkles, edible glitter, or chopped nuts.
