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

Categories     Chocolate

Number Of Ingredients 5

3/4 c mashed potatoes
4 c coconut, flaked
4 c powdered sugar
12 oz semi sweet chocolate chips
1/2 cake *parafin wax, optional

Steps:

  • 1. 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.

1/2 c godiva white chocolate liquer

  • 2. Gradually add the sifted confectioners sugar until thoroughly blended. Chill if necessary before rolling into 1" balls. Freeze rolled balls overnight.
  • 3. In a double boiler over not quite simmering water, break dipping bar into small chunks to begin melting. Meanwhile, line a large area (or multiple cookie sheets) with waxed paper. Once dipping bar is melted, take coconut balls from freezer and dip to cover and place on waxed paper until set. Store in airtight container. *Not sure how many this makes but it does make a BUNCH!! If I had to guess...I'd say you're looking at approximately 6-8 dozen coconut bon bons. :-)
