As these are a no-bake dessert, the bourbon doesn't get cooked out - which gives the tasty little desserts quite a punch!

1 C finely chopped pecans
2 C powdered sugar, divided
2 T unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ C Kentucky bourbon
2 T Karo® light corn syrup
¼ t vanilla extract
Preparation
In a large bowl, combine crushed vanilla wafers, chopped pecans, 1 C of the powdered sugar, and the cocoa powder and stir until well incorporated.
In a separate smaller bowl, stir and combine bourbon and Karo® syrup. Pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients and stir well until combined.
Wrap the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for 2 hours.
Add remaining 1 C powdered sugar into a shallow bowl. Remove bowl from refrigerator, form into balls, and roll into powdered sugar.
These can be stored in the refrigerator, tightly covered, for 2 weeks. Also, these freeze very well for up to 2 months.
