Anything is good, in moderation. I cook because I love to and because I can share with those around me. I crochet for the same reason.

Do what you want to do, enjoy what you do and use it to touch those around you.

Whiskey Balls

Happy New Year!!!!


  1 Cup Pecans                                                                  1.5 Lb Chocolate Wafers
  5 Tbl Jack Daniel's Whiskey                                          
  1/2 Cup butter, softened                                                1 Cup Pecan Halves, Optional
  16 ounce confectioners' sugar                                       

Grind pecans and place in a sealable glass gar.  Pour the whiskey over the nuts. Seal and allow to soak overnight.  Mix the butter and sugar; fold in the soaked nuts. Form into 3/4" balls and refrigerate overnight.  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. If desired, press a pecan half into the top of  each ball immediately after dipping.  Store in refrigerator until serving.
