Kahlua Cocoa Balls Recipes

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk together the crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, cocoa powder, and chocolate. Stir in the vanilla, agave, Kahlua, and coffee until the dough comes together. Shape the dough into 1″ balls. Roll them each in the granulated sugar. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for 2-3 days to develop the flavor. Makes 15-20 balls.

• In a small bowl mix together the chopped walnuts and crushed wafers; add in the chocolate mixture and mix well.

• OR, refrigerate balls for 1 hour and then dip in melted chocolate; return to refrigerator to set chocolate.

• 1. Melt the chocolate chips in evaporated milk in a pot over low heat, stirring constantly, until well blended. Remove from the heat and set aside to cool for about 30 minutes. Combine all remaining ingredients except the coconut; stir into the chocolate mixture, blending well.
• 2. Shape the mixture into 1- to 1 1/2-inch balls (if the dough is too moist, add up to 1/3 cup more cookie crumbs), then roll in coconut. Let air-dry for 2 hours on waxed paper. Transfer to an airtight container; store in refrigerator. Serve in pleated, brown-paper candy cups.

Steps:

• Combine water and instant coffee in a pot; bring to a boil. Stir light brown sugar and dark brown sugar into coffee, reduce heat, and simmer, stirring every 15 minutes, for 3 hours. Remove from heat and cool completely.
• Pour coffee mixture into a clean, large glass jar. Add grain alcohol, vanilla extract, and vanilla bean; cover with a tight-fitting lid. Let sit in a dark place, shaking occasionally, for 1 month. Divide into bottles, leaving a piece of vanilla bean in each.
