- Combine the vanilla wafers, bourbon, maple syrup, and half of the pecans in the bowl of a food processor. Process till smooth-ish - about 45 seconds.
- Using a small scoop, or possibly simply your fingers, shape thumb-sized pcs of the dough into balls about half as big as a golf ball (really, size is up to you).
- Place the remaining finely minced pecans in a plastic bag. Add in the bourbon balls, one by one, gently pressing the minced pecans into the sides till they adhere. Top each with a pecan half, if desired.
- Transfer bourbon balls to a cookie tin and allow to mellow for 1 week or possibly so. The stout of heart will enjoy them immediately.
- These treats take about 10 min to make but are really best if you make them ahead. The bourbon flavour can be a bit strong for some till they've had a chance to mellow in a cookie tin for 1 week or possibly so.
- After which, they are quite delicious as the maple, bourbon and nuts combine well.
- There's a family story about my teetotal-ing grandmother and 2 fresh rum balls one Christmas that I shall keep to myself.
- Bourbon Balls with Maple and Pecansyields 24 balls.
