Candy Anyone?

I was lazy cooking supper tonight (frozen pizza) because I have been mixing up Christmas candy. I am making bourbon balls, fudge (chocolate and peanut butter) and peanut butter balls. Tonight I will share the recipe for the bourbon balls.

In a container with a lid, mix 1 c chopped nut (I used pecans), 5 T bourbon and let sit overnight. In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup softened butter and 1 pound powdered sugar, fold in nut/bourbon mixture. Roll into balls and refrigerate overnight. Melt a package of chocolate chips and dip the bourbon balls into the chocolate, sit on waxed paper to cool, store in the fridge.

The longer they sit, the better they get. Enjoy!
