Recipe Summary Holiday Peanut Butter Whiskey Balls

Boozy, sweet, and rich, these whiskey balls are the perfect sweet bite with a kick. The peanuts and peanut butter bring out the peanut butter in the whiskey and offer a savory complement to the sweet sugar and cookies. Store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.

1 (11 ounce) box vanilla wafers

1 cup unsalted peanuts

1 ¼ cups powdered sugar, divided

½ cup peanut butter whiskey

3 tablespoons honey

2 tablespoons peanut butter

¼ teaspoon kosher salt

2 tablespoons unsweetened cocoa powder

Directions

Process vanilla wafers in a food processor into fine crumbs; transfer to a large bowl. Process peanuts in food processor until finely chopped; add to the crumbs.

Stir 1 cup powdered sugar, whiskey, honey, peanut butter, and salt into crumb-peanut mixture. Form mixture into twenty 1 1/2-inch balls.

Whisk together cocoa and remaining powdered sugar in a shallow dish. Roll each whiskey ball in cocoa mixture to lightly coat. Chill for 15 to 20 minutes before serving.

I used with Ogden's Own Porter's Peanut Butter Whiskey. Other varieties include Skrewball, found in most liquor stores.
