About
this recipe
Bourbon balls are a Kentucky delicacy, invented here back in 1938 by Ruth Hanley Booe. Naturally, ours are made with Maker’s Mark® and feature a bourbon-infused pecan on top. Best of all, this recipe yields four dozen, so there’s plenty for you and plenty to gift to your soon-to-be-closer friends.
