These Irish Creme Holiday Balls are no bake made with vanilla wafers, Irish cream, and just 4 other simple easy-to-find ingredients.

Although I do make my own Copycat Irish Cream, you can use any flavored liquor with my several suggestions below.

For gift-giving, store them in pretty festive tins, but they should only be left out for up to 3 days unrefrigerated, these will stay fresh for up to 3 weeks in the refrigerator so be sure to store them properly.
