FTR, Brad kept calling them rum balls and so I didn't let him have any. The velvet hammer is real.
Smart lady!
By sheer coincidence (I have been avoiding GBCN since the Internet collectively lost its mind due to recent events) I am partway through making my own batch tonight. Sadly I will not be getting tipsy during the process as per tradition (my tradition, that is).
What kind of bourbon did you use? I'm a Wild Turkey lady myself when it comes to bourbon balls.
If your H cannot taste the difference between a bourbon ball and a rum ball, well, I just don't know what to say. I am disappointed in him. Mine, I think, is being an ass on purpose. My mom actually used to make bourbon balls and rum balls are not normal to me.
I used whatever we had, which is... ::gets up to look:: Buffalo Trace. Yum.
I only made the one batch since this was my first go and took most of them to a friend's house when we went to visit their baby.
