Whiskey Balls

1 cup graham cracker crumbs
1 cup powdered sugar
1 cup finely chopped walnuts
3 teaspoons cocoa powder
1-1/2 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup whiskey
powdered sugar

In a large mixing bowl stir together graham cracker crumbs, 1 cup powdered sugar, walnuts, and cocoa. Stir in corn syrup and whiskey until well blended. Shape into 3/4-inch balls and roll in extra powdered sugar. Place on a cookie sheet to dry (do not bake). If the dough seems too sticky, you can add a bit more graham cracker crumbs. If the dough seems too dry, add a very small amount of corn syrup. Let dry for 2-4 days (until they are firm, and easy to handle and bite into, but not rock-hard), then store in an airtight container.
