For a richer flavor, use a high-quality bourbon. If the mixture seems too dry, add a teaspoon of bourbon at a time until it reaches the desired consistency. Store the bourbon balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week. For an extra touch, drizzle melted chocolate over the chilled bourbon balls.
