Total time: 45 min
Yield: 4 servings
Ingredients: 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips; 3/4 cup butter; 4 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (such as Nilla(R)); 1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar; 1 cup finely chopped pecans; 1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder; 1/4 cup ground almonds; 3/4 cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys(R)); 1/2 cup sour cream; 1 1/2 pounds dark chocolate, chopped, or as needed

Servings: persons

1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
3/4 cup butter
4 cups vanilla wafer crumbs (such as Nilla(R))
1 1/2 cups confectioners' sugar
1 cup finely chopped pecans
1/3 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
1/4 cup ground almonds
3/4 cup Irish cream liqueur (such as Baileys(R))
1/2 cup sour cream
1 1/2 pounds dark chocolate, chopped, or as needed

1
Place chocolate chips and butter in a saucepan over medium-low heat; stir until melted and smooth, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat to cool slightly.
2
Whisk vanilla wafer crumbs, confectioner's sugar, pecans, cocoa powder, and almonds together in a large bowl; stir in Irish cream liqueur, sour cream, and chocolate mixture to form a soft dough. Cover mixture with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight.
3
Form mixture into balls using a tablespoon-size cookie scoop; place on a baking sheet. Place baking sheet in the freezer until firm, about 30 minutes.
4
Melt dark chocolate in a microwave-safe glass or ceramic bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each melting, for 1 to 3 minutes (depending on your microwave). Do not overheat or chocolate will scorch. Using a toothpick, dip each ball into melted chocolate to coat; place on waxed paper until chocolate is firm, about 10 minutes.
5
Place balls in candy cups; store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 6 weeks.
