How to Make Kentucky Colonels

- 2Chill in refrigerator until firm enough to handle, about 2 hours.
- 3Melt chocolate in the top of a double boiler and then allow to cool to room temperature.
- 4Form rounded teaspoons of the nut mixture into balls and place on a baking sheet covered in wax paper.
- 5Dip balls in into the melted chocolate 2 at a time. Using 2 forks, turn the candy, coating completely with the chocolate. Tap fork to eliminate excess chocolate, then place on on the wax paper.
