Make a few batches of these fudgy pecan bourbon balls, and give them as a gift to neighbors and co-workers.

Active Time: 30 mins
Total Time: 4 hrs
Ingredients
8 oz. 60% cacao dark chocolate, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup (2 oz.) bourbon
3/4 cup pecan halves, finely chopped
Directions
Place chocolate in a medium bowl. Bring heavy cream and bourbon just to a simmer in a saucepan over medium. Remove from heat, and pour cream mixture over chocolate. Let stand 1 minute; stir vigorously until cream and chocolate are thoroughly blended. Let mixture cool 15 minutes. Cover with plastic wrap, and chill until firm, about 2 hours. (If you cannot make the truffles immediately, the mixture will keep, covered, in the fridge up to 1 week.)
Place chopped pecans on a shallow plate. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Working quickly and using a small warmed teaspoon (dipped into hot water and then dried), scoop chilled chocolate mixture by 2-teaspoon portions, and shape each into a ball. Place each ball on chopped pecans. Once the plate is filled, wash hands and roll balls in pecans to completely cover. Transfer balls to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Repeat with remaining chocolate mixture and pecans.
Chill balls until firm, about 1 hour. (Or freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.) Enjoy them now, gift them, or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator up to 1 week.
