Bourbon Balls

Chocolate candy laden with whiskey, it’s a Southern holiday classic! Swerve reduces the sugar content.

Ingredients

  • 3 cups Swerve Confectioners' Sugar Substitute
  • 2 sticks butter, softened at room temperature
  • 2 teaspoons pure vanilla extract
  • 1/4 cup Bourbon
  • 3 cups raw cacao morsels

Instructions

Cream butter in a mixing bowl. Add Swerve confectioners’ sugar; mix until combined well.

Add vanilla and Bourbon. Mixture should be thick (if too thin, add more sugar). Chill for 20 minutes until firm. Roll into balls. Place on parchment-lined cookie sheet and chill in freezer for 30 min to 1 hour.

Melt chocolate in microwave, stirring after 30 seconds until smooth. Roll candies in chocolate. Place on wax paper to cool.

Keep covered in an air-tight container or in refrigerator.

Optional: add 1 cup finely-chopped pecans or place a whole pecan half on top after dipping in chocolate.
