Time 1h10m

Yield 1 batch bourbon candies

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
4 cups powdered sugar
1 cup nuts, finely chopped
1/4 cup Bourbon
1 (6 ounce) package milk chocolate chips
3 tablespoons half-and-half

Steps:

  • Melt butter/margarine in microwave in medium bowl Mix in sugar, nuts and bourbon.
  • Refrigerate until firm.
  • After chilled, shape into 1-inch balls.
  • Refrigerate again until firm.
  • Melt chocolate chips and half-and-half together in microwave (at medium-high (70%) for about 1-3 minutes, stirring occasionally until chips are melted) or in double boiler.
  • When your mixture is homogenized, drizzle chocolate over candies.
  • (You may want to let chocolate mixture cool slighly, but not to the point of solidifying.) Alternately, I believe the balls could be dipped in the sauce.
  • Reheat chocolate as needed to keep it liquid.
  • Chill on waxed paper.
