Hi everybody!

A new member, I'm looking forward to sharing these great recipies with all of you. Err....not the best cook, but I'll try my best. Here's something that even I can make.


Smaug's Gems

1)1 cup of Vanilla wafer crumbs
2)1 cup of confectioners' sugar
3)1 cup of chopped nuts
4)1 tablespoon of cocoa
5)2 tablespoons of light corn syrup
6)1/4 cup of whiskey

Combine 1 cup of vanilla wafer crumbs, 1 cup of confectioners' sugar, 1 cup of chopped nuts, and 1 tablespoon of cocoa in a bowl. Add 2 tablespoons of light corn syrup and 1/4 cup of whiskey. Mix well and shape into 1-inch balls. Roll in confectioners' sugar and place in an air-tight container. Store in the refrigerator. 15-20 minutes should be good, but experiment with what tastes better (some people like it to be more runny, or not completely set.)

I can just see Bilbo learning this sort of recipie from the Dwarfs as a quick snack on the road. Of course, the 'whiskey' would probably be replaced with 'Dwarvish Mead'.

It's really not that much whiskey, though it may look like it. Still, if you're not sure, I guess you could use a replacement of sorts.

Welcome! Wow, these really sound tasty! And talk about easy. :) I might give them a try, but I think I'll substitute rum for the whiskey
