For a deeper chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips. Experiment with different nuts, such as pecans or hazelnuts, for a unique twist. If the mixture is too dry, add a tablespoon of bourbon at a time until the desired consistency is reached. If the mixture is too wet, add a little more crushed vanilla wafers or ground nuts. These bourbon balls can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks, or in the freezer for up to 2 months.
