Whether you look forward to or dread Valentine’s Day, chances are that if you’re in a relationship — or want to be — you’ll recognize the holiday in some way. We suggest you tap into your romantic side with Black Rifle Coffee.
Sure, you could go the flower-and-teddy-bear route — but that’s not only boring, predictable, and requires almost zero effort, you probably did the same thing last year. Am I right? So shake things up a bit. If you want to make your object of affection swoon, get in the kitchen.
You don’t have to produce a five-course meal — some homemade chocolates and a special cocktail will do more than impress. And if you don’t know how to cook, no problem. Chocolate balls are the simplest candy to make; cream, chocolate, and time is all it takes to create something blissfully elegant, decadent, and delicious.
The quality of the ingredients will affect the final product, so use high-quality chocolate and butter, along with America’s Coffee and Leadslingers Whiskey.
Before you start, brew a strong cup of Black Rifle Coffee and get organized. Be sure you have all your ingredients, measuring cups, bowls, etc., ready to go. If you don’t have a mixer or food processor, you’ll have to chop, crush, and mix by hand.
Our Up All Night Whiskey Balls is a simplified version of a fancy chocolate truffle. They also pack a sweet, boozy punch with a robust Black Rifle Coffee kick.
Servings: Approximately 18 balls
