Fireball Bites #TasteCreations

If you love the taste of Fireball, these Fireball cookies will satisfy that heat and sweet craving fast! Simple to make, no-bake Fireball cookies are a hit wherever you take them!

For our December food, we selected sugar since we all love our holiday sweets!  Our bloggers have some tasty treats for you using real sugar.  We know that sugar isn't as healthy as other options, so be sure you are consuming it in moderation.  Sugar is my weakness.  I always have room for a sweet!

My grandmother's story is slightly different.  My great-grandmother, Lula Belle Wilson, liked booze and often added it to recipes, most often her delicious eggnog. When my momma was a little girl, Lula often told her to stay out of the eggnog.  My mom decided then that HER eggnog would never have booze in it so that everyone could enjoy it.  And as far as I know, it never has had any, except what we might pour in our individual glasses!

For my recipe, I used my bourbon ball recipe and exchanged the bourbon for Fireball.  It's a simple switch out.  If you aren't into including alcohol, I can't help you with an exchange, because I haven't tried anything else!

  1. Oooh, I love your twist on bourbon balls! I definitely need to make some of these for my Christmas cookie trays. Wonder how they'd work with leftover crushed up gingerbread scraps?

  12. I love the idea of fireball bites over rum balls, because I'm not a fan of rum. However, I've never even had a rum ball! Rum cake, yes. My husbands grandmother makes a rum cake that with one slice will knock you off your feet!

  16. These remind me of my college roommate's mother's rum balls. She would make them every year and they were potent, as in don't drive and eat these. I'm more of a whiskey girl, so these fireballs bites are calling my name.

  21. Oh gosh I'm not sure I would be into these. I love chocolate but I haven't loved the trend of spicy chocolate. I think people who do like that combo would love these though!
