These bourbon balls were a bit more work than I expected, but they were worth it. They're so delicious and perfect for a holiday party.

I used a food processor to make the bourbon balls, and it worked great. They were so smooth and creamy. I highly recommend using a food processor if you have one.

These were a bit too boozy for my taste, but my husband loved them. I think I'll try making them again with less bourbon next time.

I'm not a big fan of bourbon, but I loved these bourbon balls! The chocolate and nuts really balance out the bourbon flavor. I'll definitely be making these again.

I've never made bourbon balls before, but these were so easy to make and they turned out great! I used a mix of dark and milk chocolate chips, and they were the perfect balance of sweet and boozy.

Easy to make and oh so good! I used dark chocolate chips and chopped walnuts. The bourbon flavor is subtle but definitely there. I will be making these again and again!

These were so much fun to make, and so delicious! I used a mini muffin pan and got 36 balls out of the recipe. They were a hit at my holiday party, and I'll definitely be making them again!
