Steps:
- we have a food processor that makes crumbling the ingredients up A LOT easier.
- take the wafers, pecans, cocoa and grind up.
- add your whiskey and mix (A LITTLE GOES A LONG WAY!) (I've tried jack, and crown, and I'm using wild turkey this year. crown has been the best so far).
- now, the recipe calls for 2 tbsp of Karo syrup, but i can guarantee you, you'll use more. (this is what holds the balls together)
- add the 2 tbsp and mix and start rolling into 1 inch balls.
- dip into the powdered sugar and your done. like i mentioned, you'll have to add more syrup as you go, but that's OK, it just makes it taste even sweeter! lol.
AUNT MILDRED'S WHISKEY BALLS
These whiskey balls are similar to a rum ball, just prepared with whiskey. If you don't love whiskey, this recipe may not be for you. But if you like whiskey, definitely give them a try. Ground pecans add a nice texture and flavor. The whiskey is noticeable but not overpowering. With a hint of chocolate, these will be delicious...

Tips:
- Choose the right whiskey: Use a whiskey that you enjoy drinking neat or on the rocks. A good whiskey for whiskey balls will have a strong flavor that can stand up to the ice and dilution.
- Use filtered water: Filtered water will help to ensure that your whiskey balls are clear and free of impurities.
- Freeze the whiskey balls for at least 4 hours: This will ensure that they are solid and will not melt too quickly when you add them to your drink.
- Chill your glass before serving: This will help to keep your drink cold and refreshing.
- Add a garnish to your drink: A twist of lemon or orange peel, a cherry, or a sprig of mint can add a pop of flavor and color to your drink.
Conclusion:
Whiskey balls are a great way to enjoy your favorite whiskey without diluting it with ice. They are also a fun and easy way to add a touch of sophistication to your next party or gathering. With a little planning and preparation, you can make your own whiskey balls at home in no time.
