Brandy Balls

My mom made these every year for Christmas and gave them away in tins to those fortunate enough to be on her list!  I've done some changing through the years.......most notably, I use shortbread crumbs instead of vanilla wafer crumbs.  They're just better, in my opinion.

Ingredients:

Make this shortbread.
Use 6 wedges, or 3/4 of the recipe and make crumbs of them.
1/4 cup honey
1/4 cup + 1 Tablespoon brandy
2 cups ground walnuts
Sugar for rolling

Combine the shortbread crumbs, walnuts, honey and brandy until well mixed.

Form into balls using about 1 Tablespoon each.

Roll each ball in sugar.

Store in an airtight container or tin with waxed paper or parchment between the layers.

Let them age for a week or so for best flavor.

**For a gluten-free version, make the shortbread with this gluten-free flour blend.**
