Ingredients

6	ounces	chocolate chips	(semisweet)
2 1/2	cups	vanilla wafer	crushed
1	cup	pecans	chopped finely
1/2	cup	sugar
1/4	cup	corn syrup
1/3	cup	cognac

Directions

Melt chocolate bits.

If you have never worked with melted chocolate before, then use a double boiler with the burner set on low.

Crush vanilla wafers very fine (fineness is important).

Chop pecans (again fineness is everything).

Add sugar, corn syrup and cognac (I use 1 nip of cognac and 1/2 nip of rum, works fine and costs less).

Stir in pecans and wafer crumbs.

By now the mixture should be a smooth paste.

Remove from heat and form into about 1-inch balls.

Roll balls in extra granulated sugar.

Store these in an air-tight container; if you are a chocoholic, have someone hide them from you.

They are best if you allow them to age and mellow.
