Ingredients

The following ingredients have 18 Servings
  • 1 pound box confectioner's sugar
  • 1 stick melted butter
  • 1/2 cup Maker's Mark Bourbon whisky
  • 1 cup Pecans chopped
  • chocolate for coating
  • paraffin (optional) for coating

Instruction

  • Soak nuts in Bourbon overnight. Combine all ingredients (except coating materials) and refrigerate until firm. Roll in small balls and dip in Bakers semi-sweet chocolate melted with paraffin. I used a 12 oz. bag of semi-sweet chocolate chips, mixed with 1 oz. paraffin in a double boiler. I then coated the Bourbon balls with the chocolate mixture, and placed them on waxed paper to set up. I placed a single half-pecan piece on the top of each piece of candy, and pressed it lightly while the coating was still hot. I let the finished Bourbon balls cool. You can use a refrigerator or freezer to speed up the process. Then I placed them in a candy dish for serving. These Bourbon balls are wonderful for serving during the holiday season; also, they make great gifts! Enjoy!!!
