Bourbon balls are a Kentucky classic for good reason. After all, what's not to like about bourbon, chocolate, and pecans? If you ask us, it's the perfect combo. Dreamed up in the Louisville kitchen of Ruth Hanley Booe back in 1938, bourbon balls have become a Christmas tradition across the South. But we don't believe in relegating these sweet Kentucky treats to a single holiday, especially our sister Louise who always has a box (or two) on hand. Instead, we asked our talented friend Maggie Jones of Sugar Mama's Bake Shop in Louisville, to help us perfect our recipe (made with our family's Old Rip Van Winkle 10 Year). Naturally, she nailed it on with the first batch! Today, the handmade sweets ship nationwide-seasonally. Last year, Jones produced more than 100K bourbon balls for us...by hand. For peak flavor, enjoy at room temp.

When Lousiville baker Maggie Jones started making cookies, cakes, pies, and yes, bourbon balls for local friends and family, she was searching for creative outlet not a business. But as word spread, her hobby gradually into the full-fledged, female-run sweet shop it is today, and when we decided to introduce our first Pappy & Company pantry product (bourbon balls!) we knew just where to turn.

Great product and exceptional follow up
I bought two boxes...one for home and one for a neighbor gift at a small gathering. Great product and a wonderful gift idea!
Lovely way to end a special dinner.
The order came and soon treated myself to one. It was delicious and very fresh tasting. A bourbon taste with a nice chocolate blend with neither over bearing one another. Will definitely be ordering again.
The bourbon balls are simply delicious!
I purchased a box of bourbon balls for my moms birthday. She loved the appearance of them, and absolutely loves the taste of them. A perfect gift, I am so happy I made the purchase and definitely will again!. Thank you.
