No Bake Chocolate Coffee Walnut Balls

No Bake Chocolate Coffee Walnut Balls

By: Nancy - Las Vegas, NV - Recipe Contest 2015

"This recipe is a spin off from the no bake bourbon balls that my mother serves during the holiday times. I exchanged the bourbon for strong coffee and find them more tasty than with the sharpness of the bourbon."

 

This is a Door County Coffee Fan recipe. It was not made in the kitchens of the Door County Coffee Café.
