Little chocolate candy balls with a dangerous bourbon filling ;-) Prep time includes chilling, but all times are estimates. Ingredients:
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 |
Directions:
1. Melt butter/margarine in microwave in medium bowl Mix in sugar, nuts and bourbon.
2. Refrigerate until firm.
3. After chilled, shape into 1-inch balls.
4. Refrigerate again until firm.
5. 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.
6. When your mixture is homogenized, drizzle chocolate over candies.
7. (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.
8. Reheat chocolate as needed to keep it liquid.
9. Chill on waxed paper.
