Bring heavy cream and bourbon just to a simmer in a saucepan over medium.

Remove from heat, and pour cream mixture over chocolate.

Let stand 1 minute; stir vigorously until cream and chocolate are thoroughly blended.

Let mixture cool 15 minutes.

Cover with plastic wrap, and chill until firm, about 2 hours.

Place chopped pecans on a shallow plate.

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Place each ball on chopped pecans.

Once the plate is filled, wash hands and roll balls in pecans to completely cover.

Transfer balls to a parchment paper-lined baking sheet.

Repeat with remaining chocolate mixture and pecans.

Chill balls until firm, about 1 hour.

(Or freeze until firm, about 10 minutes.)
