Re: Candy
Kentucky Colonels
1 cup butter, softened
2 pounds confectioners sugar (extra for rolling)
dash of salt
1/2 cup Kentucky Bourbon
1/2 rectangle paraffin
12 oz. package of semi-sweet chocolate morsels
Gradually blend butter with sugar, salt, and bourbon. Roll into small balls (about 100). Roll balls in powdered sugar. Refrigerate until firm.
Melt paraffin in double boiler (do not boil ). Slowly add chocolate.
Dip balls in chocolate. Place on wax paper and refrigerate.
If necessary thin chocolate with a very small amount of vegetable shortening.
Make approximately 100 (depending on size).
