Ingredients
One 12-ounce package vanilla wafers
1 1/2 cups coarsely chopped walnuts
1 cup plus 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar, plus more for serving
1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/2 cup tequila
1/3 cup agave nectar
Chipotle powder, for dusting
Cayenne, for dusting
Directions
- Finely crush the vanilla wafers and place in a large bowl. Add the walnuts, 1 cup of the confectioners' sugar and the cocoa powder. Mix in the tequila and agave nectar. Place the dough in the refrigerator to firm up, 20 to 30 minutes.
- Put the remaining 2 tablespoons confectioners' sugar in a medium bowl. Shape the dough into 1-inch balls and roll in the confectioners' sugar. Place the balls on a baking sheet, cover them with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight. You can store the balls in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks for maximum boozy taste.
- Before serving, roll the balls in confectioners' sugar and dust with chipotle powder and cayenne.
