Crab Bon Bons Recipes

BONBONS

Steps:

• In large bowl, combine margarine, confectioners' sugar, condensed milk, coconut, chopped walnuts and vanilla. Stir well. Cover and chill in the refrigerator for 2 hours, or until mixture has thickened enough to roll into balls. Roll the mixture into 1-inch balls and place close together, but not touching, on cookie sheets. Freeze until hard.
• While bonbons are freezing, line a cookie sheet or flat surface with waxed paper. Combine chocolate chips and shortening in the top of a double boiler, over, not in, simmering water. Stir until melted. Using a toothpick or a fork, dip each bonbon in the melted chocolate. Place on waxed paper to dry. When chocolate has hardened, store bonbons in plastic bag in the freezer.

CRAB BON BON'S

Steps:

• Mix all ingredients except the Shake n Bake.
• Let the mixture stand until the moisture is absorbed and its soft enough to roll in your hands.
• (If mixture is too thin add crushed ritz crackers or bread crumbs, but wait until liquid is absorbed to add anything and if mixture is too thick I add a little more salad dressing!) Roll mixture into quarter size balls or larger, and then roll the balls into the Shake n Bake.
• Bake for 15 minutes on 400* (Makes 75 to 100 quarter size appetizers.).
• Serve them hot, or at room temperature.
• **Somepeople like to dip them in Cocktail Sauce, but I like them plain.
