Balls!

While at my parents' house for Thanksgiving, I made brandy balls (which should be ready in time for Christmas) and this inspired me to make another batch when I got home to San Diego. I made them on Saturday and was soooo proud of myself until yesterday, when I noticed the unopened bag of powdered sugar I had bought. Yes, I made the entire double batch but forgot to put in the required two cups of powdered sugar. What is wrong with me???

*Side Note: When you make brandy balls, you have to let them sit for a few weeks in a cookie tin to "merry up." I don't know exactly what that means, but it has something to do with the alcohol. Thus, I have not tasted my balls and I don't know yet how foul they will taste without sugar. OK, really I just wanted to type "I have not tasted my balls."
