COCONUT BON BONS
I used to ask my grandma to make these for me for Christmas every year! Then my son asked me for them every year...Now as an adult, out his own, he makes it himself! :) Don't let the one ingredient fool you...it does call for mashed potatoes...adds moisture, you can't actually taste the potatoes when all is said and done.

Steps:
- 1. Mix together potatoes, sugar and coconut. Place in refrigerator for 1/2 an hour. Shape into 1" balls, place on waxed paper lined cookie sheets. Freeze for 1/2 an hour. Melt chocolate with wax in double boiler. If you opt not to use the wax, I would add 2 Tablespoons of veg oil to the chocolate for smoother melting and dipping. Dip balls and place back on waxed paper. Allow to dry/harden...and Enjoy! Store in cool place, they freeze really well. *parafin wax - you can use this if you want, it provides a nicer, more glossy texture on the bonbon...don't melt so easily in your fingers...but you really don't need it.

Steps:
- 1. In the mixing bowl of your electric mixer, blend sweetened condensed milk, butter and Godiva liquer. Gradually add coconut (whiz it through the food processor to finely chop). Stir in chopped pecans and vanilla.
- 2. Gradually add the sifted confectioners sugar until thoroughly blended. Chill if necessary before rolling into 1" balls. Freeze rolled balls overnight.
- 3. In a double boiler over not quite simmering water, break dipping bar into small chunks to begin melting. Meanwhile, line a large area (or multiple cookie sheets) with waxed paper. Once dipping bar is melted, take coconut balls from freezer and dip to cover and place on waxed paper until set. Store in airtight container. *Not sure how many this makes but it does make a BUNCH!! If I had to guess...I'd say you're looking at approximately 6-8 dozen coconut bon bons. :-)
Tips:
- For a richer flavor, use dark chocolate instead of semi-sweet chocolate.
- To make the coconut filling even more flavorful, add a teaspoon of vanilla extract or rum extract.
- If you don't have a double boiler, you can melt the chocolate in a microwave-safe bowl. Just heat it in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is melted and smooth.
- To make the bon bons easier to dip, chill the coconut filling for at least 30 minutes before dipping it in the melted chocolate.
- If you want to decorate the bon bons, you can drizzle them with melted chocolate, sprinkle them with chopped nuts, or roll them in coconut flakes.
Conclusion:
These coconut bon bons are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. They're also a great way to use up leftover coconut flakes. With their creamy coconut filling and rich chocolate coating, these bon bons are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
