Ingredients
- 32 oz bag powdered sugar
- 1 stick butter (melted)
- 5 tbsp Maker's Mark® bourbon
- 3 tbsp Ale-8-One®
- 16 oz bag milk chocolate chips
- 2 tbsp mint extract
- pecan halves
Instructions
- You will need extra bourbon and Ale-8 to soak.
- In a large bowl, combine 2 cups of powdered sugar and melted butter. Mix with your hands. Add Ale-8 and bourbon. If the mixture becomes sticky, add more sugar. After well blended, form into one-inch balls.
- Place on a wax paper lined cookie sheet with a toothpick inserted into each bourbon ball. Place in the freezer for 1 hour.
- Melt chocolate in a sauce pan over low heat. Once melted, stir the mint extract into the chocolate. Roll each ball into the chocolate and add pecans to the top while the chocolate is still warm. Place in an airtight container. Bourbon balls will last up to two weeks in the refrigerator or at room temperature.
