Cooking MethodNo Bake

Ingredients

1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 pound confectioner's sugar
3 tablespoons bourbon (or more to taste)
2 tablespoons heavy cream
3/4 cup chopped pecans
4 ounces chunk chocolate
1-in. square paraffin
2 tablespoons butter
5 drops of vanilla

Instructions

Beat butter till soft, add sugar and beat again.
Mix bourbon and cream and stir into mixture. If needed to make a workable soft dough, beat in more powdered sugar. More bourbon means more sugar.
Stir in pecans. Work together well. Shape into 1-in. balls.
Roll balls in powdered sugar as they are shaped. Place in refrigerator until stiff. You can quit now, and eat, if you don't like chocolate.
If you want chocolate, Slowly melt and mix chocolate, 2 tablespoons of butter, and chunk of paraffin; a double boiler is best but just a pan will work if you're careful.
Add vanilla and cool slightly in a shallow bowl. Dip balls in chocolate mixture using a fork as a lifter.
Place on waxed paper to harden. Reheat chocolate as needed to keep it fluid. Makes 2 1/2 - 3 dozen balls.
