    Booze Balls

    They sound intoxicating, but rest assured, the rich, chocolatey flavor is the only thing certain to put you over the legal limit.

    Recipe Summary
    Yield: about 4 1/2 dozen 1-inch balls
    Prep time: 1 hour
    Cook time: 1 day
    Ease of preparation: Easy

    Ingredients
    1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
    20 chocolate wafer cookies (about half a 9-ounce box)
    1/2 cup finely chopped pitted prunes (about 15 prunes)
    1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
    1/4 cup bourbon or 1/3 to 1/2 cup brandy
    1/4 cup sweetened condensed milk
    1/4 cup granulated sugar, or colored decorating sugars, for garnish

    Instructions
    Put chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on medium power for a minute. Stir and repeat until the chocolate melts, about 3 minutes total depending on the power of your microwave. Next, put the melted chocolate in a heatproof bowl. Bring a saucepan filled with one inch or so of water to a very slow simmer; set the bowl on the pan (without touching the water). Stir occasionally until melted and smooth.

    Process the wafer cookies in a food processor until finely ground (you should have about 1 1/2 cups ground cookies). Alternatively, put cookies inside a heavy re-sealable plastic bag and crush by moving a rolling pin over the cookies.

    Stir the cookie crumbs, pitted prunes, confectioners' sugar, bourbon or brandy, and condensed milk into the chocolate until evenly combined.

    Cover and refrigerate the mixture until firm enough to roll into balls, about 45 minutes. Scoop a tablespoon or so of the mixture with a cookie or small ice cream scoop, roll each portion by hand into a smooth ball, and set onto a baking sheet or large plate.

    Store booze balls in an air tight container at room temperature for a day to allow the flavors to come together. Store balls in the refrigerator for a week or freeze for up to 1 month.

    To serve, put the sugar on a plate and roll the balls in it to coat. Serve at room temperature
