Tips:

  • If you don't have bourbon, you can use another type of whiskey or even rum.
  • Be careful not to overmix the dough, or the balls will be tough.
  • Chill the dough for at least 30 minutes before forming the balls. This will help them hold their shape.

  • Store the bourbon balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
