Boozy Bon Bons image

I've had this recipe for years and don't really know where I got it. I've only ever made these during the Christmas season. I store them in an old clear glass, clasp-lid mason jar with gold glittered decorations and a pretty ribbon. Cooking time is standing time. Rum or Brandy can be substituted for the whiskey. For those of you in the UK, you can substitute digestive bisquits for the wafers and also sub golden syrup for the corn syrup.

Time 1h10m

Yield 60 bon bons

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 (12 ounce) box vanilla wafer cookies
1 cup powdered sugar
3 tablespoons cocoa powder
1 cup walnuts, finely chopped
3 tablespoons light corn syrup
1/2 cup whiskey
1/2 cup powdered sugar (for rolling)

Steps:

  • Put cookies into a large ziplock bag and crush with a rolling pin or put into a food processor until you have very fine crumbs.
  • Mix the 1 cup powdered sugar, cocoa powder and walnuts thoroughly. Add to the cookie crumbs in a large bowl and mix together.
  • Add the corn syrup and whiskey and stir to combine. If mixture seems dry, add more whiskey, about a tablespoon at a time, up to 1/4 cup more. Do not add any more than this or the mixture will be too wet.
  • Let mixture stand for 20 minutes.
  • Roll into 1" balls, then roll in powdered sugar and place on waxed paper. Let dry 30 minutes.
  • Store in airtight container 2-3 weeks to ripen before eating.

These bonbons are a great way to use up leftover chocolate.

I'm not a fan of alcohol, so I omitted the liquor from the ganache filling. The bonbons were still delicious, but I think they would have been even better with a little bit of booze.

These bonbons were too sweet for my taste. I think I would have preferred them with a darker chocolate.

I'm not sure what I did wrong, but my bonbons didn't turn out as expected. The ganache filling was too runny and the chocolate shells were too thick.

These were so easy to make and they turned out so cute! I used a mini muffin tin and they were the perfect size. I also added some chopped nuts to the chocolate ganache for extra flavor.

These boozy bonbons were a hit at my last party! They're so easy to make and they taste delicious. I used a variety of liquors, including chocolate liqueur, Irish cream, and rum. My guests loved them all.
