How To Make peanut butter bon bons
-
Step 1Combine butter and peanut butter until smooth.
-
Step 2Gradually 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).
-
Step 3Pinch 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.
-
Step 4In a double boiler melt chocolate and paraffin wax until completely melted.
-
Step 5Take 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)
-
Step 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.
