Irresistibly Decadent Chocolate-Dipped Bourbon Balls with Crunch blending bourbon and pecans for a unique dessert experience.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups crushed vanilla wafers (can substitute with gluten-free cookies)
- 1 cup finely chopped pecans (substitute with walnuts, almonds, or hazelnuts)
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder (dark cocoa can be used for a richer taste)
- 1/2 cup bourbon (honey or spiced variations can enhance flavor)
- 1 cup unsweetened shredded coconut (optional, omit if not preferred)
- 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips (dark chocolate can be substituted)
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil (or vegetable oil)
- 1/2 cup extra chopped nuts (optional for rolling)
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, finely chopped pecans, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Stir until evenly blended.
- Slowly drizzle in the bourbon while mixing. Continue to fold the mixture until well combined into a sticky dough.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes.
- Scoop out approximately one tablespoon of the chilled mixture and roll it into a 1-inch ball. Place onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and coconut oil. Heat in 20-second intervals until melted.
- Dip each ball into the melted chocolate using a fork, ensuring each is coated.
- Return the chocolate-coated balls to the lined baking sheet. Optionally roll in extra chopped nuts before refrigerating to set.
- Refrigerate the balls for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the chocolate has hardened.
- Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
Notes
- Use dark chocolate for a richer flavor.
- Honey or spiced bourbon can enhance the taste.
