Directions:
In a double boiler over low heat, place chocolate chips, corn syrup, and bourbon, stirring frequently until chocolate is melted and the mixture is smooth. Cool to room temperature.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix wafers, nuts, confectioners sugar, and chopped cherries. Add to the chocolate mixture and stir to blend. Let stand for 30 minutes.

Cut whole cherries in half. Shape mixture into 1-in balls with fingers. Roll in granulated sugar and press 1 cherry half into the top of each ball. Refrigerate, covered, until ready to serve.

Personal Notes:
To prepare for mailing, line a sturdy box with waxed paper and pack balls in layers, separated by additional layers of waxed paper. Crumble a few sheets of waxed paper and place it on top as padding to keep balls from shifting. Tape boxed closed, the label for mailing. Don't forget to write "fragile" on the box.
