Bourbon Balls.

I'm adding this to the Christmas candy schedule, after reading the article at NPR.....

Bourbon Balls

1 pound dark chocolate (55-71%), chopped
1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
1/2 cup Evan Williams bourbon
pinch of sea salt
1 cup finely chopped pecans

Bring heavy whipping cream to a boil. Remove from heat. Add chocolate; stir until smooth. Add bourbon; stir until well-incorporated. Add salt. Let the chocolate mixture (ganache) rest at room temperature until firm (about 4 hours).

Using two spoons, portion out half ounce balls of ganache. Hand roll balls until smooth and then roll it in the pecans. Makes about 40 truffles.
