Best when aged for 2-3 days when the flavors have had a chance to develop. Will keep several weeks stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Great for the holidays. Ingredients:

1/2 teaspoon cinnamon |
3/4 cup powdered sugar |
1 cup pecans or 1 cup walnuts, finely chopped |
1 (1 ounce) unsweetened chocolate square |
3 tablespoons honey |
1/4 cup bourbon (use a brand you like to drink, the flavor really shines through) |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine cookie crumbs, cinnamon, nuts, and sugar.
2. In the top of a double boiler (over hot water) or in a saucepan (over low heat), combine chocolate and honey; heat and stir until chocolate is melted (approx 2-3 minutes).
3. Mix in bourbon until smooth and well blended.
4. Stir chocolate-bourbon mixture into crumb mixture until well blended.
