Description

Ingredients

• 1/8 pound Butter
• 1 pound Powdered Sugar
• 1/3 cup Makers Mark Bourbon
• 1/2 pound Pecan Halves
• 1 pound Bakers Semi Sweet Chocolate
• 1 tablespoon Butter

Directions

• Cream butter, powdered sugar and Makers Mark together in a standing mixer.
• Let mixture stand in refrigerator for 3 hours, or until hardened.
• Once cooled, roll into small 1 inch balls and press pecan halves on either side. Set aside on wax paper.
• Melt together over double boiler at low temperature. The chocolate will melt nicely if you break it into smaller pieces before putting it in the double boiler.
• Once the chocolate is melted, dip bourbon balls in chocolate one at a time. You want your bourbon ball to be completely covered in the chocolate.
• Set ball back on wax paper until chocolate is firm.
• Store in refrigerator. Can be made in advance.
