INGREDIENTS (Nutrition)

  • 1 cup chopped nuts
  • 5 tablespoons Kentucky bourbon
  • 1/2 cup butter, softened
  • 1 (16 ounce) package confectioners' sugar
  • 18 ounces semisweet chocolate

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place the nuts in a sealable jar. Pour the bourbon over the nuts. Seal and allow to soak overnight.
  2. Mix the butter and sugar; fold in the soaked nuts. Form into 3/4" balls and refrigerate overnight.
  3. Line a tray with waxed paper. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Roll the balls in the melted chocolate to coat; arrange on the prepared tray. Store in refrigerator until serving.
