No Bake Pretzel and Bourbon Beer Balls

Servings 36 balls

Ingredients
  

  • ½ cup 50g chopped pecans
  • ½ cup 58g chopped almonds
  • 1 cup 154g pretzels crumbs (pretzels processed with a food processor)
  • 1 cup 122g graham cracker crumbs (9 full sized graham crackers, processed)
  • ½ cup 43g unsweetened cocoa powder, divided
  • ¾ cup 75g powdered sugar, divided
  • ½ cup 118mL bourbon barrel aged beer
  • 3 tablespoons 63g honey (or light corn syrup)

Instructions
 

  • In a large bowl stir together the pecans, almonds, pretzel crumbs, graham cracker crumbs, ¼ cup unsweetened cocoa powder (reserve the other ¼ for the coating), and ½ cup powdered sugar (reserve the other ¼ for the coating).
  • Stir in the beer and honey until well combined. Mixture shouldn’t be wet but it should hold together when squeezed. If it’s too dry to hold together add more beer, about 1 tablespoon at a time until the right consistency is reached.
  • In a small bowl stir together the remaining ¼ cup cocoa powder and ¼ cup powdered sugar.
  • One at a time form into balls about the size of a golf ball, roll in powdered sugar. Place on a plate or tray.
  • Chill for 2 hours and up to overnight. Serve chilled.
