Instructions
-
In a medium bowl, combine the bourbon, dried apricots, dates, and raisins. Allow the mixture to soak for at least 2 hours or overnight, ensuring the fruits absorb the bourbon flavors.

Once the fruits are well soaked, drain any excess bourbon and pat them dry with a paper towel.

In a large mixing bowl, combine the soaked fruits, chopped walnuts, vanilla wafer crumbs, powdered sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Mix until all ingredients are well combined and form a sticky dough.
-
Shape the dough into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter, and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
-
Roll each ball in powdered sugar until coated evenly, giving them a sweet finish.
-
Refrigerate the Bourbon Fruit Balls for at least 1 hour to allow them to set and enhance the flavors.

Serve chilled and enjoy the irresistible combination of bourbon-infused fruits and nuts in every bite.
