That time of year is quickly approaching. Started the search for recipes to make up the Christmas gifts. Here is a good one to start with.

From the site: CooksRecipes.com

32 chocolate crème sandwich cookies
1 1/4 cups toasted California Walnuts, divided use
3/4 cup icing (powder) sugar, divided use
2 tablespoons instant coffee powder, divided use
2 tablespoons corn syrup
1/3 cup brandy, coffee liqueur or rum

In food processor, process cookies until fine crumbs.

Stir in walnuts, 1/2 cup of the icing (powder) sugar and 1 1/2 tablespoons of the coffee powder; process until well combined.

Add corn syrup and gradually mix in brandy until thick paste forms; set aside.

In small bowl, combine remaining sugar and coffee powder.

Form walnut mixture into 1 inch balls; roll into sugar mixture.

Store, loosely packed, between sheets of wax paper or foil in airtight container for up to two weeks.

Makes about 4 dozen balls.
