Would make this again.
I have made a recipe almost exactly like this for many years. They are absolutely fantastic and a family favorite. I think they're best when the vanilla wafers are as fine as possible. I also prefer chopped, toasted walnuts in them versus pecans. I've always rolled mine in regular sugar.

Store them tightly sealed at room temperature, and let them cure for a few days before you eat them. They're heavenly. five stars

My grandmother always made these at Christmas. They do taste better when they sit for a few days. I crunched the waffers so you don't need a food processor. It gives them a little more texture. five stars
