Kentucky Colonel Candy

This classic southern candy has a cream center infused with real Kentucky bourbon, and enrobed in smooth chocolate. It's a perfect gift for the bourbon connoisseur on your list! 

This is yet another retro southern candy that I'd never tried - until now! The centers hold a cream filling that is packed with bourbon flavor and they're sandwiched between two pecan halves. Chocolate-dipped and drizzled, they are ready for the holidays and a place on your favorite silver candy tray.
I've always heard these referred to as Kentucky Colonels , but some people call them bourbon balls. In my neck of the woods (TN), a bourbon ball is a completely different confection of packed cookie crumbs mixed with chocolate, honey, and bourbon (see my 5 Minute Bourbon Ball recipe here). It just goes to show you how diverse southern food culture can be - it's so wonderful to explore!Continued, click to read more...
