Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup (softened) Butter
- 4 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Condensed milk
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 cups Shredded coconut
- 1 cup (finely chopped) Pecans or walnuts
- 2 cups Semisweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Shortening
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the softened butter, powdered sugar, condensed milk, and vanilla extract. Mix until smooth and well-combined.
Fold in the shredded coconut and finely chopped pecans or walnuts, ensuring they are evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
Using your hands or a small cookie scoop, roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place them on a parchment-lined baking sheet.
Chill the bon bon balls in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour, or until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the semisweet chocolate chips and shortening in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and fully melted.
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each chilled bon bon ball into the melted chocolate, ensuring it is evenly coated. Let the excess chocolate drip off back into the bowl.
Place the chocolate-covered bon bons back onto the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Allow the chocolate to set completely at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Once the chocolate is firm, transfer the bon bons to an airtight container and store them in the refrigerator for up to two weeks or at room temperature for up to one week.
Serve chilled or at room temperature and enjoy!
