Directions

  1. Place the nuts in a sealable jar. Pour the bourbon over the nuts. Seal and allow to soak overnight.

  2. Mix the butter and sugar, fold in the soaked nuts. Form into 3/4\" balls and refrigerate overnight.

  3. Line a tray with waxed paper. Melt the chocolate in the top of a double boiler over just-barely simmering water, stirring frequently and scraping down the sides with a rubber spatula to avoid scorching. Roll the balls in the melted chocolate to coat, arrange on the prepared tray. Store in refrigerator until serving.
