Directions

  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.
