Add chocolate and whisk until smooth and melted. Stir in date mixture and remaining 1 tablespoon bourbon. Freeze mixture until firm enough to mound on spoon, stirring occasionally, about 20 minutes. Drop chocolate mixture by rounded tablespoons onto foil-lined sheet. Freeze until almost firm, about 10 minutes. Roll each mound in pecans. Chill until firm. (Can be prepared 2 weeks ahead. Cover and keep refrigerated.) Serve cold. Makes about 18. Bon Appetit October 1992 Converted by MC_Buster. Converted by MM_Buster v2.0l.
