Bourbon Balls

Adapted from my friend Mary's mom's recipe. My husband loves them.

1 stick of butter
1 16oz box of powdered sugar
5 TB to 1/4 cup of bourbon
1 cup of chopped pecans
1 1/2 to 2 pkgs of semi sweet choco squares
parafin to thin chocolate (I found it at walmart)
pecan halfs


Mix powdered sugar (sifted) and softed butter and then mix in the bourbon. Mix well and then added the 1 cup of chopped pecans. Then put them in the freezer for about an hour or so, so that the dough will firm up. It is easier to scoop out when it is firm. Then, after the dough set, form the balls. Then put balls back in the freezer for an hour or two until they firm up again.

Melt the chocolate over low heat and dip the balls, using a toothpick or spoon to hold them.
Place the pecan on top; chocolate cools very quickly.
