Courtesy of Wanda Dokken. A native to the Outer Banks, she shared this recipe from her family collection many years ago. It’s a bit different than the traditional meringue types but equally delicious.

sour cream

1
large box vanilla pudding

 
Vanilla wafers

 
Bananas

Directions

Make pudding as directed on box. Fold pudding into sour cream. Fold this mixture into cool whip. Layer with wafers and bananas. Let it sit in refrigerator several hours.

Bourbon Balls

A holiday must. Alice Coffey turned us on to these gems in Manteo, 1981. This is an excellent after dinner offering or gift idea.

1 pkg
semi sweet chocolate chips (6 oz.)

3 tbsp
corn syrup

1/2 cup
bourbon

1 pkg
chocolate wafers, crushed (8 oz.)

1 1/3 cup
chopped nuts

1/2 cup
confectioners sugar

 
sugar

Directions

Gently melt chocolate in a double boiler over low heat. Remove from heat and stir in syrup and bourbon; cool to room temperature.

Meanwhile, in a large bowl, mix wafers, nuts, and confectioners sugar. Add the chocolate mixture and stir to blend.  Let stand 30 minutes. Shape into 1 inch balls with your fingers. Roll in sugar then refrigerate, covered, until ready to pack for munching or gift giving.
