Coconut Walnut Bonbons

Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Coconut Walnut Bonbons.

1. Step 1

   To start your delightful bonbon journey, grab a large mixing bowl and blend together softened butter or margarine, sifted confectioners' sugar, sweetened condensed milk, flaked coconut, finely chopped walnuts, and a splash of vanilla extract.

2. Step 2

   Mix everything until it’s beautifully combined and smooth.

3. Step 3

   Once your mixture is ready, cover it up and pop it in the refrigerator for about two hours.

5. Step 5

   When the time is up, take the mixture out and roll it into 1-inch balls, placing them on cookie sheets.

6. Step 6

   Make sure they’re close together but not touching, as they’ll need a little space to chill.

7. Step 7

   Now, it’s time to freeze those rolled bonbons until they’re firm and ready for the next step.

8. Step 8

   While they’re freezing, prepare a cookie sheet or a flat surface by lining it with waxed paper.

9. Step 9

   In a double boiler set over simmering water, melt together semisweet chocolate chips and shortening, stirring gently until the mixture is smooth and glossy.

10. Step 10

    Once your bonbons are nice and firm, use a toothpick or fork to dip each one into the melted chocolate, ensuring they’re fully coated in that rich, velvety goodness.

    Place the dipped bonbons on the prepared waxed paper, allowing the chocolate to set.
