Author: The Saucy Southerner
Recipe type: Candy
Ingredients
- 8 tablespoons butter, softened
- 2 cups confectioner's sugar
- 6 ounces dark chocolate (you could use semi-sweet chips - I used 85% cacao bars)
- 1 tablespoon Kahlua (or any coffee liqueur, or vanilla, or strong coffee)
- Colored sugars and jimmies
Instructions
- In your food processor, or your mixer, cream the butter and sugar.
- In a small bowl, using medium heat in your microwave, melt the chocolate (my microwave took 2 minutes)
- Add the chocolate and the Kahlua to the butter, sugar mixture and mix well.
- Transfer to a bowl and refrigerate until firm.
- Scoop and roll into balls (I used gloved hands so the chocolate didn't melt).
- Roll the balls into the candy jimmies.
- Refrigerate in an airtight container.
