Ingredients
  • Cook time Includes chill time
  • ------------------
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips (or 10 ounces semisweet chocolate, finely chopped)
  • 2 tablespoons bourbon
  • 1 cup finely chopped pecans

Directions
  1. In a medium saucepan, bring cream to a boil; remove from heat, and add chocolate and bourbon.
  2. Let stand 3 minutes; whisk until smooth. Transfer chocolate mixture to a medium bowl, and refrigerate, uncovered, until thick and firm enough to spoon out in mounds, about 2 hours.
  3. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Drop level tablespoons of chocolate mixture onto baking sheet. Refrigerate chocolate mounds until firm, 30 minutes.
  4. Place pecans in a shallow bowl.
  5. Using hands, roll each chocolate mound into a ball; roll balls in pecans, pressing lightly to adhere, and place on baking sheet. Refrigerate truffles until set, 30 minutes to 1 hour.
  6. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 2 weeks.
  7. ----------------
  8. I used the small baking cups to place the finished ones in and feel that is the best way.
