NO-BAKE DARK CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTER BON BONS



NO-BAKE DARK CHOCOLATE ALMOND BUTTER BON BONS image

Categories     Cookies     Chocolate     Dessert     Quick & Easy

Yield Makes about 1 dozen

Number Of Ingredients 5

6 whole graham crackers
1/2cup smooth almond butter
1/2cup butter (8 tablespoons)
2 cups powdered sugar
1 1/2 cups dark chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Seal graham crackers in a large ziplock bag and then just completely destroy them with the flat side of a meat tenderizer. Or a rolling pin or a mallet or your own two golden fists of fury, whatever you want, just beat the bejesus out of those crackers until you are left with a sack of graham cracker powder, which you may then pour into a large bowl. In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the almond butter and butter together until smooth; this should take no more than 1 minute of microwave time, in two 30-second intervals, mixing in between. Stir until blended, and then pour into the bowl with the graham cracker crumbs. Add powdered sugar to the bowl and mix it all together until combined into a dough. It will take some time to get all of the powdered sugar incorporated. Patience is a virtue. Roll dough into small, 1-inch balls and spread out on a baking sheet. You may want to line this with parchment paper to make the next step easier, but at this juncture that is not required. Stick into the fridge or freezer to harden. Melt dark chocolate chips (in a double boiler or in the microwave) and stir until smooth and perfect. Dunk each ball into the melted chocolate, and then return to the lined baking sheet. We like to do halfway in chocolate, but all the way would be, of course, totally allowed, because there is not such thing as too much chocolate. For the cleanest experience, dip balls by stabbing them with a long skewer and then placing them, skewer and all, back on the baking sheet. Keep it the fridge or freezer until ready to serve. 

Tips:

  • Mise en place: Before you start making the bonbons, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready. This will help you stay organized and avoid any mishaps.
  • Use high-quality chocolate: The quality of your chocolate will make a big difference in the final product. Look for a chocolate that is at least 70% cacao and has a smooth, velvety texture.
  • Temper your chocolate: Tempering chocolate is a process that helps to stabilize the chocolate and make it less likely to seize. This will give your bonbons a smooth, glossy finish.
  • Use a variety of fillings: Don't be afraid to experiment with different fillings for your bonbons. You can use ganache, buttercream, fruit purées, or even nuts. The possibilities are endless!
  • Be patient: Making bonbons takes time and patience. Don't rush the process, or you'll end up with subpar results. Allow the chocolate to set completely before moving on to the next step.

Conclusion:

Homemade chocolate bonbons are a delicious and impressive treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little patience and practice, you can easily make professional-quality bonbons at home. So next time you're looking for a special dessert, give these chocolate bonbons a try. You won't be disappointed!
