Description

Fireball Whiskey Balls are a delightful and festive treat combining the warmth and spice of Fireball cinnamon whiskey with rich chocolate, creamy peanut butter, and a crunchy graham cracker base. Perfect for parties or cozy gatherings, these bite-sized balls offer a harmonious blend of sweet, spicy, and nutty flavors coated in a smooth chocolate shell.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 cup crushed graham crackers
  • 1 cup powdered sugar
  • 1/2 cup unsweetened cocoa powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup Fireball cinnamon whiskey
  • 1/2 cup peanut butter

Optional Add-ins

  • 1/2 cup mini chocolate chips

For Coating

  • 1/2 cup melted chocolate (milk, dark, or semi-sweet)

Instructions

  1. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the crushed graham crackers, powdered sugar, and unsweetened cocoa powder until evenly blended.
  2. Add Wet Ingredients: Stir in the Fireball cinnamon whiskey and peanut butter into the dry mixture until the ingredients form a thick, well-combined dough.
  3. Fold in Chocolate Chips (Optional): Gently fold in the mini chocolate chips to add extra texture and bursts of chocolate in each bite.
  4. Form Balls: Roll the mixture into small balls approximately 1 inch in diameter, ensuring they are compact and hold their shape.
  5. Freeze: Place the formed balls on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper and freeze them for about 30 minutes to firm up.
  6. Melt Chocolate: While the balls freeze, carefully melt the chocolate using a double boiler or microwave in short intervals, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
  7. Coat with Chocolate: Once the whiskey balls are firm, dip each ball fully into the melted chocolate, using a fork to ensure an even coating and allowing any excess chocolate to drip off.
  8. Set Chocolate Coating: Return the coated balls to the parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate hardens and sets.
  9. Serve and Enjoy: Once the chocolate coating is set, serve the Fireball Whiskey Balls chilled for the perfect spicy-sweet treat.

Notes

  • Freezing the balls before dipping in chocolate helps them maintain shape and ensures a smooth coating.
  • You can use dark chocolate for a richer, more intense flavor.
  • Store the whiskey balls in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.
  • For longer storage, freeze the balls and thaw at room temperature before serving.
  • Adjust the amount of Fireball whiskey to control the spice level to your preference.
  • Use peanut butter with no added sugar or salt for the best balance of flavors.
