Chocolate Bourbon Balls

Crushed wafer cookies and chopped walnuts flavor these simple spirited treats.

2 tablespoons honey
1 1/2 cups finely crushed vanilla wafer cookies (about 27 cookies)
1/2 cup ground walnuts
1 tablespoon bourbon
Candy decorations or sugar

1. Mix chocolate chips and honey in 1 1/2-quart microwavable casserole or bowl. Microwave uncovered on High 1 to 2 minutes or until chips can be stirred smooth.

2. Stir in crushed cookies, walnuts and bourbon. Shape into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in candy decorations.
