Bourbon Balls

3 cups ground vanilla wafers (12 oz box)
1 cup ground walnuts
1 cup powdered sugar
2 tablespoons cocoa powder
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/4 - 1/3 cup bourbon (can use rum)
1/4 cup water

Mix well, roll into small balls (about an inch diameter), then roll in more powdered sugar. Chill at least 3 hours, store in an air-tight container. Let set overnight before serving.

These are NO-COOK, so the alcohol does not cook out! I ate them when I was a kid, my kids eat them now. Use your own judgment and serve accordingly.
