Time 20m

Yield 24 balls

Number Of Ingredients 5

9 ounces shortbread cookies
1/2 cup pecans, toasted
1/2 cup confectioners' sugar
1/2 cup Maker's MarkĀ® Bourbon
1 cup white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • In a food processor, finely grind the shortbread. You should have 2 cups crumbs. Add the pecans and confectioners' sugar and pulse until the nuts are chopped. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • In a small saucepan, bring the bourbon to a boil. Remove from the heat and add 3/4 cup chocolate chips. Stir until smooth. Pour into the pecan mixture and stir until well-combined. Form into sixteen 1/2-inch balls.
  • Place the remaining 1/4 cup chocolate chips in a resealable plastic bag. Microwave in 20 second increments until melted, squeezing the chocolate in the bag to evenly melt. Snip a small hole in one corner and drizzle the chocolate onto the balls. Refrigerate in an airtight container until firm, at least 2 hours and up to 1 week.
