Do you like giving gifts of food during the holidays? Do you host or attend a lot of parties? Well I have just the recipe for you. These Captain Crunch Bourbon Balls are the perfect little goodie for all those occasions. Imagine a little box of these all wrapped in a pretty bow to pass out to all those who deserve a little something this time of year. You know you have those people on your list. Those that you want to say “thank you” to or those that you want to feel special or remembered. These are a twist on the classic bourbon ball – adding Captain Crunch cereal for that touch of nostalgia. Super easy to make too.
Really – these took just a couple minutes to make & pop in the fridge to chill.
