COCONUT BON BONS



Coconut Bon Bons image

I used to ask my grandma to make these for me for Christmas every year! Then my son asked me for them every year...Now as an adult, out his own, he makes it himself! :) Don't let the one ingredient fool you...it does call for mashed potatoes...adds moisture, you can't actually taste the potatoes when all is said and done.

Provided by Wendy Rusch @AmmaWendy

Categories     Candies

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 cup(s) mashed potatoes
4 cup(s) coconut, flaked
4 cup(s) powdered sugar
12 ounce(s) semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cake - *parafin wax, optional

Steps:

  • Mix together potatoes, sugar and coconut. Place in refrigerator for 1/2 an hour. Shape into 1" balls, place on waxed paper lined cookie sheets. Freeze for 1/2 an hour. Melt chocolate with wax in double boiler. If you opt not to use the wax, I would add 2 Tablespoons of veg oil to the chocolate for smoother melting and dipping. Dip balls and place back on waxed paper. Allow to dry/harden...and Enjoy! Store in cool place, they freeze really well. *parafin wax - you can use this if you want, it provides a nicer, more glossy texture on the bonbon...don't melt so easily in your fingers...but you really don't need it.

Number Of Ingredients 10

7 ounce(s) sweetened condensed milk
1 1/2 teaspoon(s) cherry brandy
1 teaspoon(s) pure vanilla extract
1/8 teaspoon(s) salt
1 cup(s) sifted powdered sugar
1 cup(s) moist coconut flakes
12 ounce(s) maraschino cherries
1/2 cup(s) dessicated coconut
1/2 cup(s) dessicated coconut for rolling
16 ounce(s) semi sweet or dark chocolate to be melted

  • Add powdered sugar and stir with a wooden spoon until fully incorporated.
  • Add coconut flake, dessicated coconut & chopped maraschino cherries and stir until combined.
  • Chill mixture in refrigerator until easy to mold, about 1 hour. Take 1 rounded teaspoon of mixture at a time and roll into balls, then roll in desiccated coconut.
  • Line a cookie tray with parchment paper. Melt the chocolate and dip the balls into the chocolate, covering completely, and place them on the prepared tray until set. Store in airtight container in refrigerator or a cool place.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture.
  • Chill the coconut mixture for at least 30 minutes before rolling into balls, this will help them hold their shape better.
  • If the coconut mixture is too sticky, add a little more powdered sugar until it reaches a consistency that is easy to handle.
  • Be careful not to overwork the chocolate when melting it, as this can cause it to seize.
  • Dip the coconut balls in the melted chocolate using a fork or spoon, then gently tap off any excess chocolate.
  • Place the dipped coconut balls on a parchment paper-lined baking sheet and refrigerate until the chocolate has set.
  • Store the bonbons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
