Bourbon Balls


(This is my mom's old recipe. I have been making them for Christmas for many years.

2 boxes confectioners sugar
1 stick softened butter*
1/2 cup bourbon
1 cup chopped walnuts
1 package chocolate almond bark

Mix by hand:
Confectioners sugar and butter.
Add nuts and bourbon.
Chill for a few minutes in the fridge and then roll into 1 to 1 and 1/2 inch balls.
Chill on trays in freezer for about 15 minutes.
Melt chocolate in glass bowl in the microwave (follow directions for melting on package)-I use my Tupperware Stack Cooker with the lid on.
Dip balls in melted chocolate with toothpicks or forks.-(I found some cool dipping tools on Amazon a few years ago)
Set on wax paper to set. Store in refrigerator or cool place.

*The key to this recipe is to use Land O Lakes unsalted stick butter.

I always double the recipe.
