| 1 | Process pecans and wafers separately; combine in food processor with sugar. |
| 2 | Slowly pour in liqueur until mixture forms a ball. |
| 3 | You might not need the whole amount, depending on the humidity level. |
| 4 | (if mixture gets too wet, put it in the refrigerator -- uncovered -- overnight to dry out some). |
| 5 | shape into small balls; roll in additional finely chopped pecans. |
| 6 | Store in tightly sealed container. |
| 7 | Yield: not nearly enough. |
| 8 | vicki"s notes: |
| 9 | * one christmas eve i had to work, but i took a break to pop in a bookstore. |
| 10 | They were having an open house, and i managed to snarf a lot of these morsels during those stolen minutes! after christmas i came back to hunt down the clerk who brought these -- my finest bit of sleuthing yet... |
| 11 | * these are equally enjoyed and requested by my friends. |
| 12 | Although some have tried other liqueurs -- including bourbon -- the results are never as good as the original! |
| 13 | * i substitute oreos for the wafers, plus use only 1 1/3 c confec sugar; don"t worry about the cookies" filling because it is nothing more than confec sugar. |
