Delightful no-bake treats combining the sweetness of vanilla wafers and powdered sugar with tart cherries and bourbon, finished with an optional chocolate coating.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup crushed vanilla wafers
- 1 cup powdered sugar
- 1/2 cup chopped cherries
- 1/4 cup bourbon
- 1/2 cup chopped nuts (optional)
- Chocolate for coating (optional)
Instructions
- In a mixing bowl, combine the crushed vanilla wafers, powdered sugar, chopped cherries, and bourbon. Fold in optional nuts if desired.
- Roll the mixture into balls about 1 inch in diameter and place on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
