Kentucky is the home of bourbon whiskey.
Kentucky is also the home of the bourbon ball, an invention attributed to Ruth Booe, of the Rebecca Ruth Candy Co., who came up with the idea in 1936.
It stands to reason, then, that the best bourbon ball in Kentucky must be the best bourbon ball in the world.
I am a fan of reason. But reason alone can’t account for what Erika Chavez-Graziano, of Cellar Door Chocolates, is up to. To be very clear, her new-recipe bourbon balls are not just the best in Kentucky, they rank among the best chocolates of any kind to be found anywhere in the world. These things are the stuff of legend. They are magic. They are mind-boggling. They are without equal.
