Can I substitute the ground walnuts? Italian dessert recipes don't usually use pecans. However, that bein said - you could use them though. The cooking police wouldn't write a violation. Can I substitute the bourbon? Uh, probably. But this is a BOURBON BALL RECIPE Looking for an alternative for the gingersnaps? There tons of alternatives. BUT you may need to add a bit of spices to get the bourbon to flavor. I've noted those to the right of the suggestions: chocolate wafers - may need a touch of ginger and nutmeg. graham cracker crumbs - I'd add cloves, nutmeg, ginger. and my least favorite EVER - vanilla wafers. The amount of spices needed to flavor a vanilla wafer would take too much scrolling to list. But it's doable.
