Ingredients

• 1/4 cup butter, softened
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 can condensed milk
• 1 cup chopped pecans
• 1/2 cup chopped walnuts
• 1/2 cup golden raisins
• 1/4 cup whiskey (I used Jack Daniels)
• 1/2 tbsp vanilla
• 2 cups powdered sugar
• 1 1/2 cups dark chocolate for coating
• Butter 2 tbsp

Directions

1. Beat the butter and salt till light and fluffy. Then add in the condensed milk and beat well. Add in all the nuts, raisins and whiskey and stir to mix. Start adding in the sugar and add till it has the consistency to shape into balls. Chill in the refrigerator for ½ -1 hour.

2. Take out and shape into small balls.

3. On a double boiler or in the microwave heat the chocolate till melted. Add in the 2 tbsp of butter. When melting the chocolate in the microwave melt at intervals of 30 seconds. The chocolate should be melted in 1 minute.

4. Now dip the balls of sweet goodness into the warm chocolate and let set on a parchment paper. Refrigerate to let it set.

5. Keep in air tight container and refrigerate. They keep for at least 3-4 months when refrigerated and the taste improves when allowed to age.
