How to Make Southern Comfort Balls

  1. In a food processor, pulse chocolate wafers and pecans until finely crumbly.
  2. Add Southern Comfort, cocoa powder, powdered sugar, and heavy cream to the food processor. Pulse until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Cover a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a spoon or small cookie scoop, form the mixture into 1-inch balls.
  4. To prevent sticking, lightly wet your hands with cold water or dust your palms and fingers with powdered sugar before shaping each ball.
  5. Roll each ball in powdered sugar to coat completely.
  6. Place the coated balls on the prepared baking sheet and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to firm up.
  7. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. Enjoy!
