KY Bourbon Ball Recipe

KY Bourbon Ball Recipe - The Candleberry® Candle Company

KY Bourbon Ball 

Nothing warms you up better than a bourbon on the rocks in the winter, so why not sweeten it up with some good old fashioned Kentucky bourbon balls! Bourbon balls pack a powerful punch in every bite, just like our Kentucky Bourbon candles, from our bourbon spirits line, pack a powerful scent every time you light them! Also, here’s a fun fact about bourbon balls; they are said to have been first invented in 1938 by Rebecca Ruth Candy Company based in Frankfort, Kentucky! 

Check out this Bourbon ball recipe that is the GO TO in our office and let us know what you think! Also, don’t forget to check out our bourbon spirits candle line on our site this month while they’re on sale!
