Directions:

In Kentucky we make Bourbon Balls. This recipe is very much like a great commercial product made nearby.

Cream butter. Add sugar gradually. Beat well. Slowly add the bourbon, blending well. Chill 1 hour or more. Roll into 1" balls. Chill again for 1 hour or more.

Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler. Gently dip each ball in the chocolate and place on waxed paper. At this time before the chocolate sets place the pecan half on the top with a gentle push. Chill. Store in a covered container

Note--100 proof bourbon really is the best, it carries on over the sweet.
