Recipe from The Sophisticated Cookie by Jeanne Benedict. These Brandy Truffle Balls are extra moist and creamy due to the use of brownie crumbs in the recipe.
Ingredients
1 1/2 cups brownie crumbs
1 Cup pecans
1/4 Cup brandy
1 Tablespoon light corn syrup
2 1/2 cups powdered sugar
1 Cup unsweetened cocoa powder
Steps
Combine brownie crumbs and pecans in a food processor and pulse until just mixed. Add Brandy and corn syrup and process until combined. Gradually add 2 cups powdered sugar and 1/2 cup cocoa powder and process until mixture forms a ball.
Sift together remaining 1/2 cup of powdered sugar and 1/2 cup cocoa powder. Form 1/2-inch balls. Place cocoa sugar in a shallow bowl and roll balls in sugar. Store in a wax paper lined airtight container at room temperature. Age a week or so for truly lethal balls.Makes 96 about balls
