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.

Sesame Cheddar Sticks

Followed recipe exactly the first time and got excellent results. Second time, added some tabasco and Spanish (hot) paprika, which extra zip. Delicious--only problem is I can't stop eating them!
