Bourbon Balls Recipe
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter (melted)
- 3 1/2 cups confectioners sugar
- 7 tablespoons top-shelf bourbon
- 1/4 cup crushed pecans
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons whole milk
- 20 to 30 pecan halves
- Combine butter, sugar, and bourbon in a bowl and beat with a wooden spoon or an electric mixer on low speed until smooth. Refrigerate mixture for one hour. Using a melon baller, form mixture into 1-inch balls. Place balls on a baking pan lined with parchment paper. Refrigerate until firm. Remove balls, wrap individually with plastic wrap, and freeze for a minimum of two hours.
- Combine chocolate chips and whole milk in double boiler over medium heat, stirring until melted. One at a time, use a dipping fork (or toothpick) to submerge buttercream balls in chocolate, coating on all sides.
- Place on baking pan lined with parchment paper, garnish with pecan half. Allow balls to completely harden before eating.
