1 cup fine vanilla wafer crumbs
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1 cup confectioners' sugar
2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup bourbon
2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 to 1 cup confectioners' sugar, sifted, for rolling (or roll in granulated sugar or chopped pecans)

Thoroughly combine 1 crushed vanilla wafer crumbs, chopped pecans, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, and the cocoa. In a separate bowl, blend the bourbon and corn syrup. Stir the bourbon mixture into the dry mixture; blend well. Cover and chill for at least a few hours.

Sift about 1/2 to 1 cup of confectioners' sugar into a wide, shallow bowl. Shape small bits of the dough into balls and roll them in the confectioners' sugar.
