INSTRUCTIONS
Place half the vanilla wafers in bowl of food processor fitted with knife
blade. Process to fine crumbs. Remove crumbs and reserve. Repeat with
remaining wafers.
Add pretzels (about 1 cup) to food processor and process to fine crumbs to
make 1/2 cup crumbs.
In a large bowl, combine wafer crumbs, pretzel crumbs, powdered sugar,
margarita concentrate, and cream cheese in a large bowl. Add tequila and
Triple Sec, if desired. Stir until blended. Divide mixture in half. Wrap
each half tightly in plastic and set aside.
Combine half the grated lime with decorator sugar and half with granulated
sugar on small saucers or in small bowls, stirring to distribute lime peel
evenly.
Remove plastic from 1 portion of the dough and shape into 1-inch balls.
After shaping each ball, roll each in green or white sugar. Work quickly,
because balls dry quickly. Repeat until all dough is used. Store in an
airtight container in refrigerator up to 1 week.
Makes 7 dozen.
