You may make this up to three weeks in advance, and they actually improve with age. You can safely double, triple or even quadruple the recipe depending on how many people you want to share these with.

2 c. fine vanilla wafer or graham cracker crumbs
1 c. powdered’ sugar
1 c. finely ground pecans or walnuts
3 Tbsp. cocoa powder
3 Tbsp. light or dark corn syrup
1/4 c. bourbon, rum or any whiskey
1/4 tsp. cinnamon
1/4 tsp. ground nutmeg
Cocoa and/or powdered’ sugar (for coating)

Roll into balls about 1 in. in diameter and roll in cocoa powder and/or powdered’ sugar to coat the outside. Store in an airtight container for at least one week and up to three weeks.
