6 ingredients
9 steps

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. 1
    Melt butter/margarine in microwave in medium bowl Mix in sugar, nuts and bourbon.
  2. 2
    Refrigerate until firm.
  3. 3
    After chilled, shape into 1-inch balls.
  4. 4
    Refrigerate again until firm.
  5. 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. 6
    When your mixture is homogenized, drizzle chocolate over candies.
  7. 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. 8
    Reheat chocolate as needed to keep it liquid.
  9. 9
    Chill on waxed paper.
