Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 can (14 oz) Sweetened condensed milk
- 3 cups Powdered sugar
- 0.5 cup Unsalted butter
- 2 teaspoons Orange extract
- 3 drops Orange food coloring
- 2 cups White chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Shortening
- 0.5 cup Dark chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Sprinkles or orange zest (optional for garnish)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the sweetened condensed milk, powdered sugar, and softened butter. Mix until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
Stir in the orange extract and orange food coloring. Adjust the coloring as needed to achieve your desired shade of orange.
Using your hands or a small scoop, shape the mixture into 1-inch balls. Place the balls on a parchment-lined baking sheet and refrigerate for 1 hour until firm.
In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate chips and shortening in 15-second intervals, stirring between intervals, until smooth and glossy.
Using a fork or dipping tool, dip each orange bon bon into the melted white chocolate, allowing any excess to drip off. Return the coated bon bons to the parchment-lined baking sheet.
Melt the dark chocolate chips in the microwave in 15-second intervals, stirring until smooth. Drizzle it over the coated bon bons using a spoon or piping bag for decoration.
Optional: Sprinkle the bon bons with sprinkles or a touch of orange zest before the chocolate sets.
Refrigerate the bon bons for another 30 minutes until the coating is fully set.
Serve chilled and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
