Put a little zip in your life--Bourbon Balls

Short and sweet today.  Literally.

I'm feeling a bit under the weather: headache that soon developed into something else.  Actually, it started yesterday and I still feel lousy.  Today, I'll simply read or crochet and watch movies.

But I don't want this to be a downer day, so here's a recipe:

Bourbon Balls

6 oz. Chocolate chips
3 T. Karo light syrup
1/4 c. Bourbon whiskey
1/2 c. sugar
1 1/4 c crushed vanilla wafers
1 c. finely chopped pecans

Melt chocolate. Blend in syrup and bourbon.  Stir in rest of ingredients.  Roll mixture into bite-sized balls.  Coat in chocolate sprinkles, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, or ground pecans. Cover and chill until firm.

REMEMBER:  The alcohol is NOT cooked out.  This is NOT an appropriate treat for children.

Hopefully, I'll have something better for Friday!
