I was just thinking about making bourbon balls this morning. This recipe suggests using any liquid sweetener, like corn syrup or honey. What do you think about using ginger syrup? Too much? I'm very tempted to give it a try.
I love bourbon balls. I loved them when I was a kid, until I found out, when I was kid, that I wasn't supposed to eat them.
Maybe, because I was eating bourbon balls when I was a kid I didn't realize they were made out of crushed nilla wafers until my wife made them for the first time a few years ago!
I did the slat baked fish thing with salmon, and it was super delicious and moist. Perfect. A hit with my guests at my birthday party.
The funnest part was cracking the salt and peeling it back to get at the fish.
slat=salt
We always make rum balls and my recipe calls for white corn syrup.
We've already ploughed through one huge batch and I had to duct tape up the second batch to keep hands out before Christmas.
I have to say, I've seen this recipe for bourbon balls before, but it doesn't resemble anything made in KY. At all. No Nilla wafers. Our bourbon balls are made of a filling of powdered sugar, crushed pecans, butter, and lots of bourbon. Then these goodies are dipped in milk or dark chocolate (I prefer dark), and sometimes a whole pecan is pressed into the top.Check here for recipes: http://myownsweetthyme.blogspot.com/2008/12/kentucky-bourbon-balls.html
I recommend something like the Old Kentucky Bourbon Balls, but with more bourbon mixed into the filling.
Added plus, you don't have to use corn syrup--just powdered sugar. Also, old women I've talked to recommend adding the tiniest bit of veggie oil to chocolate when you melt it to make it easier for dipping candies.
Yeah, I'm calling shenanigans on those Bourbon Balls. Seems like every recipe I see for them calls for 'Nilla Wafers and rolling in sugar, but I've never had them like that (both my parents are from Kentucky, and I lived there for several years).
Lotusmoss, your recipe is spot on, especially with the dark chocolate coating. Just like my Nanny's!
