Bourbon Balls can be made in several different ways. The most common that I found is with a soft interior, confectioner's sugar coating on the exterior, and a lot of bourbon all the way through...There's no right or wrong way when it comes to fashioning the best bourbon ball. What I think separates good from wow, is the bourbon itself and of course the chocolate used! After a few taste tests, we've landed on a milk chocolate hard shell with a soft textured center. The intensity of bourbon flavor is about 7 out of 10. It's milder than some people are used to when they think of bourbon balls. I think the flavor should be a compliment to the chocolate not a distraction. One of my customers suggested we invest in a really good bourbon. I took them up on it and realized it does make our bourbon balls taste better. To add a finishing touch, pecans are surrounding the crown of the chocolate to give it good texture.

Altho I plan to make my own, I'd love to try a few of these when we're in Louisville for the holidays. Will you have these for the Christmas season?
Yes, Barbara, we have them available now. Look forward to your visit!
