| 3-1/2 c Vanilla wafer crumbs
1-1/2 c Confectioners sugar, divided
1 c Finely chopped pecans
1/4 c unsweetened cocoa
1/3 c light or dark rum (I split this with Amaretto)
1/3 c Karo light corn syrup
1/3 c fine chopped Maraschino cherries
Mix crumbs with 1 cup of the confectioners sugar,
pecans and cocoa and cherries. Stir in rum and corn syrup.
(I like to use a fork at this point to
help in stirring the mixture) Shape into
1-inch balls. Roll balls on remaining sugar.
Store in tightly covered container.
Refrigerate. Makes about 4 1/2 dozen.
