Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup bourbon
  • 1/2 cup butter or 1/2 cup margarine
  • 1 lb confectioners' sugar
  • 1 tsp paraffin wax
  • additional confectioners' sugar (optional)

Directions:

  1. Soak walnuts and cherries in bourbon for 4-5 hours. (The longer you soak them, the more they absorb the alcohol.) Drain well.
  2. Soften butter. Mix butter with confectioners sugar and add to nuts and cherries. (You might need to add more sugar if the mixture is to wet.) Roll into balls (about half the size you wish your final bourbon ball to be). Refridgerate at least 30 minutes until set.
  3. Melt chocolate and wax in double broiler. Drop balls into chocolate and put on wax paper. Let set until chocolate hardens. (I always put them in the fridge to speed up the process.).
