Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 8 ounces Dark chocolate
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 3 tablespoons Liqueur (e.g., rum, bourbon, or Baileys)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Cocoa powder
- 0.5 cup Chopped nuts or sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Chop the dark chocolate into small, even pieces and place it in a heatproof bowl.
In a small saucepan, heat the heavy cream over medium heat until it just starts to simmer. Do not let it boil.
Pour the hot cream over the chopped chocolate and let it sit for 2-3 minutes. Then gently whisk until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Stir in the liqueur of your choice and the butter until fully incorporated.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate the mixture for 2-3 hours, or until firm enough to shape.
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Using a melon baller or small spoon, scoop the chocolate mixture and roll it into 1-inch balls with your hands.
Roll the balls in cocoa powder to coat them evenly. Alternatively, roll them in chopped nuts or sprinkles for added texture and flavor.
Place the finished bon bons on the prepared baking sheet and refrigerate for another 30 minutes to set.
Store the Boozy Bon Bons in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks. Serve chilled or at room temperature.
