Easy Homemade Bonbons Recipe

Ingredients

• 1 cup margarine, softened
• 2 pounds confectioners' sugar, sifted
• 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
• 3 cups coconut
• 1 cup finely chopped walnuts
• 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
• 1 (12 ounce) package semisweet chocolate chips
• 2 tablespoons shortening

Instructions

1. Collect all of your ingredients.
2. In a large bowl, combine butter, confectioners' sugar, condensed milk, coconut, chopped walnuts, and vanilla extract until thoroughly mixed. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until the mixture firms up enough to roll into balls, approximately 2 hours.
3. Shape the bonbon mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange them closely together, without touching, on cookie sheets. Place in the freezer until hardened.
4. While the bonbons are freezing, prepare a cookie sheet or flat surface by lining it with waxed paper. In the top of a double boiler, combine chocolate chips and shortening over simmering water; stir continuously until completely melted.
5. Using a toothpick or fork, carefully dip each bonbon into the melted chocolate to coat it evenly.
6. Set the chocolate-covered bonbons on the prepared waxed paper to dry completely.
