Combine vanilla wafer crumbs and powdered sugar in a large bowl.

Add corn syrup and Baileys Irish Cream and mix well. The mixture will be crumbly.

Form balls of about 1 tablespoon each from the vanilla wafer mixture. Shape the balls with your fingertips and set aside. If the dough becomes sticky, dust your fingertips with powdered sugar to help.

Melt the candy melts in a microwave-safe bowl in short increments of about 15-45 seconds, stirring between each interval, until smooth.

Dip each cookie ball into the melted candy melts using a fork or a toothpick. Place the dipped balls on parchment paper to set and dry.
