I came up with this recipe when I had a barely-eaten box of ginger snaps left over after making sauerbraten. I decided to use my favorite liquor, Evan Williams Honey bouron whiskey instead of regular bourbon. They were a big hit! This is a no-bake treat, so the liquor doesn't cook off -- for grown-ups only.
