CHOCOLATE CHERRY BOURBON BALLS
This is kind of a cross between a cookie and a candy. My mom used to make these every year during the holidays when I was a kid, although times were different back then, and since this is no-bake, the alcohol doesn't have a chance to cook off. Yeah, don't give these to the kids! Servings are based on two of these per person... Good luck stopping at two!

FUDGY BOURBON BALLS
This twist on a classic rum ball recipe substitutes chocolate cookies for the usual vanilla wafers, and features bourbon rather than rum. The flavors will mellow and integrate after sitting for a few days, so the cookies will be all the better if you can plan ahead and let them ripen for three or four days. They'll keep for up to two weeks stored at room temperature.

Steps:
- In the bowl of a food processor, pulse together the cookie crumbs and pecans until the nuts are finely ground. (The crumbs keep the nuts from turning into nut butter.)
- In a separate bowl, stir together the bourbon, 1 cup confectioners' sugar, cocoa powder and honey. Add the mixture to food processor and pulse until just combined. Let the dough rest overnight, uncovered and at room temperature. This allows the mixture to dry out a little.
- Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter, then toss the balls in confectioners' sugar. Store them in an airtight container if you want them moist, or uncovered if you like them to develop a crunchy sugar crust on the outside. Sprinkle with more confectioners' sugar just before serving.
Tips:
- Use high-quality chocolate for the best flavor.
- Make sure the bourbon is at least 80 proof for a strong flavor.
- Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before rolling it into balls. This will help the balls hold their shape.
- If the dough is too sticky to roll, add more powdered sugar.
- Roll the balls in chopped nuts, sprinkles, or cocoa powder for a festive look.
- Store the bourbon balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Conclusion:
Chocolate cherry bourbon balls are a delicious and easy-to-make holiday treat. They are perfect for gift-giving or enjoying at home. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a batch of these decadent treats that are sure to please everyone.
