Bourbon Balls

Ingredients

• 2 cups cubed pound cake
• 1 cup pecans, toasted
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar, plus extra for rolling
• 1 to 2 tablespoons bourbon
• Cocoa, for coating

Directions

In a food processor combine cake, pecans and sugar; pulse several times to mix well. Add bourbon, a little at a time, just until moistened and it forms a soft pliable dough. Turn out dough onto work surface lightly dusted with confectioners' sugar. Dust your hands lightly with confectioners' sugar, pull off walnut-sized pieces and roll them between your palms to form compact balls. Roll them in cocoa.
