Chef's Chocolate Salty Balls
A lady I met claims to have gotten this recipe from Isaac Hayes during a chance meeting in an airport.
OK that makes it officially, a FOAF tale and recipe, I don't know if any of it is true. But I made them, and they are good and heck, it's fun?
The ingredients are pretty simple, and these are no bake treats.
1C Grahm Cracker Pie Crust
1/3 to 1/2 C Corn Syrup
1C Chopped or ground nuts. (I used pecans)
==========================================
Mix Cracker Crust and nuts in a bowl, slowly add corn syrup until they get to be a stiff gooey mix. Don't make these to soft. You want them to hold together and be slightly tacky.
Kneed the mixture with your hands, which is especially fun for kids, or use a wooden spoon. If they are too soft add more nuts or more crust. You can also let this sit out and it will become harder.
===========================================
Melt 6 oz of semi-sweet chocolate chips, in a bowl, a double boiler is better, but a microwave is fine chocolate will not look melted in the microwave so just try 1 1/2 to 2 Min. maximum! Then stir and it will become a soft mixture.
Roll the balls in the sugar and salt mixture then roll then in chocolate. Make a thin covering. You can use a spoon, or two forks. I used my fingers which means I get to lick them afterwards. Yummy!
