Servings 60 bourbon balls

Ingredients
  

  • 2 sticks unsalted butter softened
  • 2 pounds Confectioners Sugar sifted
  • 1/3 cup Bulleit Bourbon to taste if you like more or less
  • 1 cup pecans chopped fine
  • 12 ounces semi-sweet chocolate cut into pieces or chips
  • 1 TBSP Shortening

Instructions
 

  • In the mixer, cream the butter and confectioners’ sugar.
  • Add the Bourbon and continue mixing until smooth.
  • Add pecan pieces and mix until blended.
  • Refrigerate until chilled (this is important, because mixture must be cold to roll and dip in the chocolate).
  • Shape into small ball shape.
  • Melt the chocolate and shortening together.
  • Working quickly, using a toothpick dip the balls in chocolate one at a time and place on a parchment paper.
  • Remove toothpick and smooth chocolate or place a pecan half on top.
  • Allow the chocolate to set.
  • Move the Candies into candy papers and store in an air tight container.
