Time 2h

Number Of Ingredients 5

3 lb powdered sugar
1 lb butter, room temperature
2 c peanut butter
3/4-1 blk paraffin
16 oz chocolate chips

Steps:

  • 1. Combine butter and peanut butter until smooth.
  • 2. Gradually add powdered sugar until well combined. You may need to dump onto a piece of wax paper and knead until all combined (especially if peanut butter is on the dryer side. Jif and Planter's are moister and work well).
  • 3. Pinch off little pieces of the dough and roll into balls. Place rolled balls on a wax lined cookie sheet. Once cookie sheet is full place in freezer. Continue rolling balls until all the dough is gone. Then place that cookie sheet in freezer.
  • 4. In a double boiler melt chocolate and paraffin wax until completely melted.
  • 5. Take out first cookie sheet only. Stick a toothpick or a skewer in a ball and dip into the chocolate mixture, rolling it to make sure they are completely covered. Place back on tray. Repeat. (I use several toothpick to let the chocolate harden)
  • 6. *If you start to run out of chocolate I take small chunks of wax and a handful of chocolate and remelt it. Repeat if needed.

It has a pleasant grainy texture in the middle that just fills your whole mouth with a satisfying mouth-feel. It keeps well and only gets better with age. This is a Pillsbury recipe and it's...

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 can(s) ready to use vanilla pillsbury frosting supreme
1 c peanut butter
1/4 c butter, softened
2 c graham cracker crumbs
1 can(s) ready to use pillsbury frosting supreme, flavor of your choice.

Steps:

  • 1. In big bowl, mix first 3 ingredients with a fork. Add in crumbs till mixed in. Form into 1 inch balls; refrigerate1 hour. In small pan, heat remaining frosting over low heat. Dip chilled balls in frosting; allow excess to drip off. Put on cooling rack over waxed paper. Let stand at room temperature till dry, about 6 hrs.

Tips:

  • Use a high-quality peanut butter that is smooth and creamy. This will ensure that your bonbons have a rich and delicious flavor.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can use the cold water test to check the temperature of the sugar syrup. To do this, drop a small amount of the syrup into a bowl of cold water. If the syrup forms a soft ball, it is ready.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar syrup. If the syrup gets too hot, it will become brittle and difficult to work with.
  • Work quickly when you are dipping the bonbons in the chocolate. The chocolate will start to set quickly, so you need to work quickly to get all of the bonbons dipped before the chocolate hardens.
  • If you want to make your bonbons extra special, you can decorate them with sprinkles, nuts, or other toppings.

Peanut butter bonbons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion.
