Sugarplums
Source: Winston-Salem Journal - December 16, 1998
6 ounces semisweet chocolate morsels
1/2 cup granulated sugar, plus more sugar for coating
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/3 cup apple juice*
2 1/2 cups finely ground vanilla wafers
1 cup finely chopped pecans
Candied cherry halves
* For ''grown-up'' sugarplums, substitute brandy for the apple juice.
Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over simmering water. Stir in the 1/2 cup sugar, the corn syrup and the apple juice. Off the heat, stir in the wafer crumbs and pecans to make a paste-like mixture. Let mixture cool enough to handle.
Roll small bits of mixture into 1-inch balls. Roll each ball in the additional sugar. Press a candied cherry half into top center of each ball. Store in an airtight container. These cookies improve with age.
Makes about 48.

"Visions of Sugarplums" is a avant-garde Christmas film about a confused young man who moves from the Bible belt to New York City to come out of the proverbial gay closet. What he doesn't count on is a "surprise" visit from his ultraconservative father (a church preacher) and timid mother (a church choir leader), who show up on the doorstep of the Greenwich Village apartment he shares with his "secret lover" of nine months, on Christmas Eve. The situation only worsens when his lover discovers the young man has been lying to him their entire relationship and that his parents really don't know he's gay. Well... it won't be long now!!! Needless to say, a very tense situation for everyone involved. It's a complete web of deception, love and laughter.
