“Try this smooth, delicious, and authentic Kentucky bourbon ball candy.”

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.
