Preparation

Step 1

Directions
Step-By-Step

1
Combine first four ingredients in large bowl. Add maple syrup, bourbon, and vanilla. Use your hands to make sure all the ingredients are mixed thoroughly.
2
Form balls by scooping a tablespoon size amount of mixture and rolling in hands to form balls. Place balls on cookie sheet lined with parchment paper.

Tip: After all balls are made, roll balls again with slightly water damped hands. This will make balls smooth before dipping in chocolate.

Place balls on cookie sheet in freezer for 2 hrs.
3
Melt chocolate bark in a double boiler or microwave per directions on package.

Dip frozen balls into chocolate, then place on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet.
4
Optional: Sprinkle a few grains of coarse sea salt on balls before the chocolate sets.
5
These freeze well. Take out of freezer and let sit for 15 minutes. They are also good frozen!
