These are awesome. I made two batches. The first batch I followed the recipe and they were delicious, but they didn't taste like bourbon at all. The second one I substituted Chambord for the bourbon and I doubled the amount. They were to die for. I highly recommend this recipe and I will definitely make these again.
Bourbon-Caramel Truffles

Truffles typically have the added richness of cream and butter. These ingredients help stabilize chocolate, which tends to scorch, separate, or become grainy if not heated carefully. We add corn syrup and evaporated milk for smooth, creamy confections.
