I am still a-glow from New Year's Eve and those damn bourbon balls. I use damn with the most sincere heart, mind you. As in DAMN those are amazing.

If I start the outpourings of I love you and your bourbon balls and your kitchen and holidays with you and and and...I'll never stop. So I'll simply pause until your next post. xo

The video is fantastic!! Is there an accompanying one for moving into the new place?

And that Bourbon Ball recipe is the one I have used for years, except mine uses vanilla wafers and white Karo syrup instead of honey. It also doesn't have the drying out step. I think next year I'll at least try the chocolate cookies in place of the vanilla wafers....

Ah, I love the video! Hilarious! Especially all the dancing at the end. I agree--2011 was good to you, dear Jess, and I only hope 2012 can keep up with the momentum.

Also, I know Melissa Clark's book was published in 2010, but can I nominate it for 2011 Cookbook of the Year? What a gem! What good eating! Hip hip!

Wait, day four or five? That might be one of *my* days! There is indeed a lot to celebrate about 2011 and a lot to look forward to in 2012 -

Sounds like it was indeed a wonderful 2011. The video is hysterical, the rums balls tempting, and your blog, as always, delightful, thanks!

Fun video. Looks like you have some great friends. I'm glad to hear this year went well for you. Bourbon balls look like a great way to ring in the New Year. Here's to a great 2012.

I love: your new apartment, your new human, your moving video, Melissa Clark's cookbook, (well, Melissa Clark, for that matter), and your version of her bourbon balls. I will help you to make a dent in them ASAP. I can probably take down at least a quarter zillion. Maybe closer a half. Maybe. xo

My (88!) year old grandmother makes rum balls for the holiday every year and they are my FAVORITE. Since I'm a gal with a thing for bourbon (and Melissa Clark recipes) I am so happy to see you post this recipe. It seems almost wrong to make them after Christmas, but winter can be a dark and difficult time. ;)

I so enjoy reading your posts. Wishing you the very best in 2012!

Love love love the video!! It makes me want to go and help my friends move. Especially if they have a zillion chocolate bourbon balls on hand. Happy 2012!
