30 minThese little chocolate truffles have been stealing the show at holiday parties and potlucks for decades.
Crushed vanilla wafers get soaked in bourbon, then folded into melted semi-sweet chocolate and sweetened condensed milk to form a rich, fudgy dough.
Roll them into one-inch balls, then coat in either grated milk chocolate or finely chopped walnuts for a finishing touch that adds crunch and class.
The recipe makes about 60, which sounds like a lot until you watch them vanish from the plate.
Kitchen Tips
- Crush the wafers super fine in a food processor for the smoothest texture
- If the mixture is too soft to shape, chill for 20 minutes until it firms up
- Use a small cookie scoop for uniform balls that look polished on a platter
- These keep well in the fridge for up to two weeks, and the bourbon flavor deepens over time
