As we progress into the holiday season we start planning our yearly goody baskets that we love to share with friends and family. Each year we incorporate our family favorites and add a few new sweets, as well. This year we have an exceptionally easy treat that you will enjoy making as much as eating.
No Bake Holiday Bourbon Balls are a quick easy treat that requires no fuss ingredients. You can whip these up in a snap and off you go to your holiday cookie swap or gathering. To make these you need crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, finely chopped pecans, cocoa powder, cinnamon, bourbon and pure maple syrup.
Place the ingredients into a bowl and mix together. Form the mixture into small balls. (Don’t forget to spray your hands with cooking spray first for easier formation.) Roll the balls in powdered sugar, chill and serve!
