Thanks for the recipe! Here is the one for my bourbon balls. It's also published on CDKitchen. I submitted it there.

Jim Beam Bourbon Balls

Ingredients:

1 box (12 oz size) vanilla wafers crushed (food processor works good here)
1 cup chopped pecans (optional)
2 cups powdered sugar plus extra for coating
1/4 cup corn syrup
1/2 cup baking cocoa
1/2 cup Jim Beam bourbon whiskey*

Directions:

Mix dry ingredients. Add corn syrup and cut in. Add bourbon whiskey and stir until it is too firm to stir. Put on baker's gloves* and knead until dough is thoroughly mixed and firm.

Roll dough into 1-inch balls and roll in powdered sugar. Refrigerate. Makes 60 1-inch balls.

-------------

This dough is VERY thick and I found that putting on thin latex gloves and hand mixing (kneading) insures that the whisky, and the dry ingredients, are mixed throughout the dough. Try to store them air tight in the refrigerator if possible because the whiskey will evaporate some if exposed to the air and they become dry.

Also, here is where I buy my Dead Sea Salt. This link takes you directly to the bulk Dead Sea Salt but if you want to browse the sight click on the company name at the top.
