Rum Balls

I don't know if anyone has posted a rum ball recipe. But this one is so good I wanted to share it!!!
Rum Balls, From Southern Living.
I don't know how many the recipe makes, but you want to make them small, like a bite. They should be around the size of a nickel. One recipe will filled two cookie trays.
In a Cuisinart, chop:
16 oz. whole Pecans, so they are very fine, like bread crumbs
12 oz. Nilla Wafers (1 box), so they are very fine, like bread crumbs
Mix together in a bowl and set aside
Add:
1/2 c honey
1/3 Dark Rum (I used Meyers)
1/3 c Bourbon ( I used Jack Daniels)
Mix, it will be sticky, but the consistency should not be too wet
Roll in powdered sugar and store in the refrigerator
***A trick, I found shaking them lightly in a plastic bag filled with powdered sugar gave them a better coating. I liked them nice and covered in white. They will have a little extra on them that way, but better than too little, and it is absorbed by the ball any way.
