Time 9h50m

Yield 90

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
¾ cup butter
4 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (such as Nilla®)
1 ½ cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup finely chopped pecans
⅓ cup unsweetened cocoa powder
¼ cup ground almonds
¾ cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys®)
½ cup sour cream
1 ½ pounds dark chocolate, chopped, or as needed

Steps:

  • Place chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; stir until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
  • Whisk vanilla wafer crumbs, confectioner's sugar, pecans, cocoa powder, and almonds together in a large bowl; stir in Irish cream liqueur, sour cream, and chocolate mixture to form a soft dough. Cover mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
  • Form mixture into balls using a tablespoon-size cookie scoop; place on a baking sheet. Place baking sheet in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
  • Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch. Using a toothpick, dip each ball into melted chocolate to coat; place on waxed paper until chocolate is firm, about 10 minutes.
  • Place balls in candy cups; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.
