Nutter Butter Bon Bons Recipes

NUTTER BUTTER BON BONS

Steps:

• 1. Finely crush cookies. You can do this in a blender, food processor or using a large baggie and a rolling pin. If using a blender or processor, it seems to work best to break the cookies in half and blend only about 6 cookies at a time.
• 2. Put cookie crumbs in a large bowl. Add softened cream cheese. Combine with hands to fully incorporate the cream cheese.
• 3. Cover a cookie sheet with wax paper. Form small bite sized balls out of the dough and place on wax paper.
• 4. Place cookie sheet of cookie balls in freezer.
• 5. Empty contents of the milk chocolate chips into microwave safe bowl with shortening. Heat for 1 minute; stir. Heat for additional 30 seconds, stir. Continue heating in 30 second increments until fully melted, stirring well between each heating period.
• 6. Remove cookie balls from freezer. Using two forks, dip into melted chocolate, covering well and letting excess chocolate drip from the ball. Place onto wax paper.
• 7. Once all cookies have been covered, let set up (I put them back in the freezer for about 5 - 10 minutes). Once chocolate is set, place in storage container with lid.
• 8. I store these in the fridge, but when it's time to serve them, I take them out about 20 minutes ahead of time.

PEANUT BUTTER BON BONS

Steps:

• In large bowl, combine Vanilla frosting, peanut butter and margarine with a fork until well blended.
• Stir in crumbs until well mixed.
• Form into 1-inch balls.
• Chill 1 hour.
• In small saucepan, melt Chocolate frosting over low heat, stirring occasionally.
• DO NOT OVERHEAT-- THE FROSTING WILL BECOME STICKY AND WON'T SET UP PROPERLY.
• Dip chilled balls in melted frosting.
• Allow excess to drip off.
• Place on waxed paper.
• Let stand at room temperature until dry, about 6 hours.
• TIP: If the frosting used for coating thickens, gently reheat.
• Use leftover coating for dipping dried fruit or nuts.

PEANUT BUTTER BON BONS

Steps:

• 1. Combine butter and peanut butter until smooth.
• 2. Gradually add powdered sugar until well combined. You may need to dump onto a piece of wax paper and knead until all combined (especially if peanut butter is on the dryer side. Jif and Planter's are moister and work well).
• 3. Pinch off little pieces of the dough and roll into balls. Place rolled balls on a wax lined cookie sheet. Once cookie sheet is full place in freezer. Continue rolling balls until all the dough is gone. Then place that cookie sheet in freezer.
• 4. In a double boiler melt chocolate and paraffin wax until completely melted.
• 5. Take out first cookie sheet only. Stick a toothpick or a skewer in a ball and dip into the chocolate mixture, rolling it to make sure they are completely covered. Place back on tray. Repeat. (I use several toothpick to let the chocolate harden)
• 6. *If you start to run out of chocolate I take small chunks of wax and a handful of chocolate and remelt it. Repeat if needed.
