Chocolate Brandy Truffle Balls

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

Note: Makes about 96 truffles

Directions:

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.
