Granola Bonbons Recipes

GRANOLA BONBONS

Steps:

• Mix first 4 ingredients very well, until everything is fully coated with the peanut butter. Shape into 1 inch balls ( 1/2 inch would be great too!, 1 inch might be too large for some people or little kids ).
• Refrigerate for about 1 hr 15 minutes or until firm.
• Melt the choc chips, I melted them in a glass corning ware with lid on in the microwave. Added about 2 Tbsp of water to them to make it thinner while mixing several times. Took about 3 minutes.
• Dip the granola balls in choc then roll in nuts. Place on wax paper in loosely covered container and refrigerate for at least an hour.

DARK CHOCOLATE & BOURBON BONBONS

Steps:

• Line a 9X9 baking tray with parchment. Chop chocolate and place in a large glass bowl. On the stove simmer heavy cream, bourbon, vanilla and salt. Just before it boils remove from heat and pour a quarter into the chopped chocolate. Allow to rest 2 minutes and mix a little. Slowly add the remainder of the cream and whisk. (Adding all the cream at once would cause the fat to separate from the chocolate which is not what you want.
• Mix thoroughly until creamy and pour into your parchment lined dish. Chill at least two hours or overnight before removing.
• Once set you can remove and cut into your desired shapes. I melted down various chocolates and using a dessert fork with a missing center tine, dipped each bonbon in a bath of chocolate before doing fine decorating using melted chocolate in a parchment bag.

GRANOLA PEANUT BUTTER BALLS

Steps:

• In a large bowl, mix together the honey and peanut butter. Using a spatula, stir in the granola. Add enough milk to just moisten--you want it to stick together. Form into balls. Chill until ready to serve.
