BEST BOURBON BALLS
This recipe uses confectioneries sugar instead of vanilla wafers. My family has made these for over 40 years. A true southern delight!

Steps:
- By hand mix the sugar, butter, pecans and bourbon. Start off with a good splash of bourbon then add tiny bits if too dry. I've never once measured the bourbon and I've been making these since I was about 5, helping mom.
- Work mixture until smooth. The mixture should be stiff, not soggy, pliable but not crumbly. I hope that makes sense.
- Pinch a tiny bit of mix and roll it in the palm of your hand into a ball. The perfect size ball is a two-biter (a little less than an inch.)
- Place on cookie sheets and set aside to air dry. You should not freeze these to firm them quickly, just let them air dry a couple of hours.
- Melt chocolates, paraffin and shortening in the microwave 30 seconds at a time.
- Stir at end of each 30 seconds.
- It will take about 4-5 minutes to melt everything.
- Using a salad or cocktail fork place the ball on the end of the fork and dip into chocolate.
- Don't prick the end with the fork or a toothpick to dip as some recommend.
- Let drain and put back on the cookie sheet.
- You may top with a half or whole pecan at this point. This will make about 120 pieces at this size.
- When chocolate has set, take a knife and slide under the balls. This makes them come out smooth compared to just picking them up.
- Place each piece in a foil or paper fluted candy cup and place in an airtight container.
- Store in the refrigerator until ready to serve or give as gifts.

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 325 degrees F.
- Spread the pecans on a cookie sheet, and place in the oven for 3 minutes. For even toasting, turn the tray, front to back. Toss the nuts with a metal spatula and bake for another 3 minutes. You'll know they're done when they give off their fragrant aroma, and be sure to check them so they don't become overbaked or charred.
- In a food processor, chop the vanilla wafers into crumbs. Add the pecans and process just until they are finely chopped. In a medium bowl, mix together the crumb-pecan mixture, 1/4 cup of the cocoa, and 1/4 cup of the confectioners' sugar. Add the corn syrup and bourbon. Mix thoroughly. Sift the remaining 1/4 cup cocoa and 1/4 cup confectioners' sugar onto a large plate. Form the crumb mixture into 3/4-inch balls and roll them through the cocoa-sugar to coat. Store in a sealed container for up to 5 days. If necessary, touch them up with a light dusting of the remaining confectioners' sugar.
BANGIN' BOURBON BALLS
Christmas gifts from me are usually centered around something I know someone likes or will like. Of course, using whiskey/bourbon in anything is something that all Kentuckians know about. These little suckers can either be made with a smooth bourbon such as Maker's Mark or a kickin whiskey like Jim Beam. Either way, they are a must for our holiday cheer. And the more you eat, the more you want. The nine hours cook time is actually chill time and the yield depends on how much fondant you use for each ball.

Steps:
- Cream the butter and sugar to form a fondant.
- Add the dash of salt and whiskey to taste (NOTE: Not all bourbon is whiskey but not all whiskey is bourbon -- i.e. Scotch whiskey, Irish whiskey, Canadian whiskey, etc . Makers Mark and Jim Beam are wonderful bourbons. . I prefer Jim for this recipe. The difference is the distilling process. If you want to know more about the difference, check out the Maker's Mark website.) Mix well.
- Roll a tablespoon of fondant around 1 pecan half. Place on waxed paper and refrigerate 8 hours or until firm.
- Melt chocolate and cool until easily handled.
- Dip the balls, letting the excess drip off. Place back on the waxed paper.
- Chill 1 hour or until chocolate is set. Store in an airtight container either in a very cool place or the refrigerator.

BOURBON BALLS
This recipes comes from my aunt. These are wonderful cookies for the adults during the holidays! You can substitute other liqueurs for the bourbon, such as brandy, rum, or Kahlua (Kahlua balls are scrumptious)! You can also substitute walnuts for the pecans if you'd like.

Steps:
- Finely crush vanilla sugar wafers in a food processor and measure out 3 cups worth.
- Finely crush 1 cup of whole pecans in a food processor.
- Mix wafers, nuts, powdered sugar, and cocoa.
- Stir in bourbon and corn syrup.
- Using a teaspoon to help gather mixture for each ball, shape mixture into 3/4" to 1" balls.
- Rolls balls in powdered sugar. I do this by dropping batches of the balls into a ziplock bag with a bit of powdered sugar in it. Refill some sugar into ziplock bag as needed.
- Refrigerate in tightly covered containers several days before serving (though they are very yummy right away!).
- Makes about 5 to 8 dozen balls.

JIM BEAM BOURBON BALLS
Made with store-bought pound cake (like Sara Lee frozen pound cake) these bourbony treats come together well. P.S., you don't HAVE to use Jim Beam, any decent bourbon will do!

Steps:
- Bring cream to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Remove from heat and stir in bourbon and vanilla.
- Sprinkle chocolate over cream and allow to set without stirring for 5-6 minutes.
- Meanwhile, pulse the pecans in a food processor until coarsely chopped. Add pound cake cubes and pulse until pecans and cake are finely chopped.
- Stir the chocolate and cream until smooth. Pour the chocolate over the pound cake mixture in the food processor and pulse until combined. Transfer mixture to a medium bowl and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, until firm enough to scoop, about 1 hour.
- Sift cocoa and powdered sugar together in medium bowl. Line rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Scoop out heaping tablespoons of bourbon-chocolate mixture and roll to form a ball. Roll ball around in cocoa-powdered sugar mixture to coat and transfer to baking sheet. Repeat with remaining bourbon-chocolate mixture. Refrigerate until firm, about 2 hours. These look great placed in mini paper muffin/candy cups.
