- 1 cup finely chopped pecans
- 1 1/2 cup of confectioners’ sugar, divided
- 2 tablespoons of unsweetened cocoa

Combine vanilla wafer crumbs, chopped pecans, and 1 cup of the confectioners’ sugar. In a measuring cup, blend the Bourbon and corn syrup; stir into the dry mixture. When thoroughly blended, cover and refrigerate for an hour or more. Sift about 1/2 cup of confectioners’ sugar onto a large piece of waxed paper.
