Prep Time: Cook Time: Total Time:
1/2 cup real butter
1 lb powdered sugar
1/2 cup nuts soaked overnight in 6 tbsp whiskey
Dipping chocolate or white chocolate
Soak nuts. Next day cream butter & sugar well. Add nut & whiskey mixture. Shape into 1 inch round balls. Place on cookie sheet and put in freezer until firm. Melt the chocolate.
Using a toothpick, dip each ball until covered. Place on wax paper until the chocolate hardens. Put them in a sealed tin or Tupperware and refrigerate. Makes about 50 candies.
Hint to make more festive you can finely chop red and green candied cherries and add at the point when you add the nuts. Just a few will give the color. For those who do not want alcohol, substitute milk or maybe eggnog and do not soak the nuts, just add all together.
