Preparation

Step 1

In a large bowl stir together crushed cookies, 1 cup powdered sugar, the almonds, and the 1/2 cup crushed lemon drops. In a small bowl combine milk, corn syrup, and melted butter. Stir milk mixture into cookie mixture until well mixed.

Place finely crushed lemon drops In a small bowl. Shape cookie mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll balls in crushed lemon drops to coat. Place balls on a large baking sheet or tray.

Cover and chill for at least 2 hours. Before serving, roll balls again in powdered sugar mixture.

To finely crush lemon drops, place candies in a heavy resealable plastic bag. Using a meat mallet or a rolling pin, crush candies into coarse pieces. Transfer the coarse pieces to a food processor; cover and process until finely crushed.

To Store:
Place cookies in a single layer in an airtight container; cover. Store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze for up to 3 months.
