How to Make Bangin Bourbon Balls
- Cream together 1 cup (2 sticks) softened butter and 1 ½ cups powdered sugar until light and fluffy.
- Add a pinch of salt and ½ cup bourbon (Maker's Mark or Jim Beam, to taste). Mix well until combined.
- Roll 1 tablespoon of the bourbon mixture around one pecan half.
- Place the bourbon balls on waxed paper and refrigerate for 8 hours, or until firm.
- Melt 12 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips in a double boiler or microwave in 30 second intervals, stirring until smooth. Let cool slightly until it thickens enough to easily handle.
- Dip each bourbon ball into the melted chocolate, allowing excess chocolate to drip off.
- Place the dipped balls back onto the waxed paper.
- Chill for 1 hour, or until the chocolate is set.
- Store in an airtight container in a cool place or the refrigerator.
