Ingredients

  • 3 cups confectioners’ sugar
  • 1 tbsp high quality cocoa powder
  • ½ cup butter softened
  • ¼ cup bourbon or whiskey
  • 1 ½ cups chocolate chips
  • ¼ cup chopped pecans

Instructions

  • In a small bowl, use an electric mixer to beat together confectioners’ sugar, cocoa powder, butter and whiskey.
  • Once the ingredients are thoroughly combined, refrigerate for 30 minutes.
  • Once 30 minutes are up, remove from fridge.
  • Line a baking sheet with wax paper. Scoop out portions of the batter with a spoon and roll into 2 inch balls. Set carefully on wax paper.
  • Freeze for at least 10 minutes.
  • While the balls freeze, place pecans in a sandwich bag. Use a rolling pin to break it into fine pieces.
  • Melt chocolate in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval.
  • Remove whiskey balls from freezer and dip each one into the melted chocolate, using a toothpick to assure that each one is completely coated.
  • Place back onto lined baking sheet and top with finely crushed pecans.
  • Place back in the freezer for about 20 minutes.
  • Serve and enjoy!
