Ingredients

2 1/2 cup(s) pecans, toasted and chopped
1 cup(s) graham crackers, crushed (vanilla wafers, Oreos can be subbed if you do not like graham crackers)
1 cup(s) brown sugar, firmly packed
1/2 teaspoon(s) salt (if you can not handle the sodium, don't use it!)
2 tablespoon(s) maple syrup
1/4 cup(s) bourbon, brandy or spiced rum. non alcoholic version: use almond extract, rum extract, or any other that may suit your taste. add a little water/juice to equal the liquid amount.
1 teaspoon(s) vanilla
7 ounce(s) dark chocolate bark. If you prefer white chocolate...go for it!
1 teaspoon(s) coarse sea salt (optional)

Steps:

Combine first four ingredients in large bowl.
Add maple syrup, bourbon, and vanilla.
Use your hands to make sure all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly. Almond extract can be subbed for non-alcohol version... add water to equal liquid amount. You can also try non-alcohol rum flavoring.
Form balls by scooping a tablespoon size amount of mixture.
Roll in hands to form balls.
Place balls on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper. Place cookie sheet in the freezer for 2 hrs. Tip: After all balls are made, roll balls again with slightly water damped hands. This will make balls smooth before dipping in chocolate.
Melt chocolate bark in a double boiler or microwave per directions on package.
Dip frozen balls into chocolate.
Then place on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
Optional: Sprinkle a few grains of coarse sea salt on balls before the chocolate sets.
These freeze well. Take out of the freezer and let sit for 15 minutes. They are also good frozen!

FUDGY BOURBON BALLS RECIPE - NYT COOKING

This twist on a classic rum ball recipe substitutes chocolate cookies for the usual vanilla wafers, and features bourbon rather than rum. The flavors will mellow and integrate after sitting for a few days, so the cookies will be all the better if you can plan ahead and let them ripen for three or four days. They’ll keep for up to two weeks stored at room temperature.

Roll the dough into balls about 1 inch in diameter, then toss the balls in confectioners’ sugar. Store them in an airtight container if you want them moist, or uncovered if you like them to develop a crunchy sugar crust on the outside. Sprinkle with more confectioners’ sugar just before serving.
