Bon Bons




I made these bon bons for the first time yesterday. They turned out great! They're so good, I just had to share the recipe with you. So here it is:

Bon Bons

1 ½ pkgs of Nestles Semi-sweet Morsels
3 blocks of chocolate flavored almond bark
14 oz pkg of coconut
1 can Eagle Brand Condensed Milk
2 lb bag of Confectioners Sugar

Line a large cookie sheet with waxed paper.

In a large bowl combine the confectioners sugar, coconut and Eagle Brand Condensed Milk. It’s quicker if you use your hands to mix it all together. Keep a butter knife handy to scrape it off your hands when it’s finished. Once it’s all mixed, wash your hands and dip them into a plate you’ve added some confectioners sugar to, and roll them into one inch balls. You may have to keep dipping your hands into the Confectioners sugar after each ball. It simply makes the process go faster. Fill your lined cookie sheet with the balls and place them into the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before coating them with chocolate.

In a double boiler or a sauce pan on low heat, melt the 1 ½ pkgs of Nestles Semi-sweet Morsels and the three blocks of chocolate flavored almond bark together. Using toothpicks, dip the coconut balls into the chocolate and place back on the waxed paper.
Chill them in the refrigerator until they’re set.

Note: Some recipes call for paraffin wax to be added to the chocolate morsels. Almond bark looks just as pretty and you don’t have that wax taste. I think it’s just better.
