Traditional Christmas Bonbon's

Every year it is a tradition for my mother and I to get together and make our traditional Christmas Bonbon's. We quadruple the recipe and over the course of several days we bunker down and put on our favorite Christmas music and make thousands of these delicious treats to give away to our friends and family for the holidays.

Ingredients

2 boxes powdered sugar (four heaping cups)

1 stick butter, softened

1 can Eagle Brand Milk, sweetened condenced

1 teaspoon of good vanilla

14 ounces angel flake coconut

1 ½ cup finely chopped fresh pecans

3 small packages of Ghirardelli milk chocolate chips

¼ cube paraffin shaved

Directions

Mix first six ingredients in a large bowl, chill in the freezer until you can handle the mixture without it sticking to your hands. Take mixture and form into small balls, place on a cookie sheet and chill in the freezer again.

Melt 1 large pkg or 3 small pkg's of milk chocolate chips and 1/4 cube paraffin over hot water, double boiler sauce pan. Quickly dip chilled balls with a kabob stick into the melted chocolate and let chocolate set up in a cold garage. After the chocolate is set on the balls take a teaspoon and use the remaining melted chocolate to make a swirl on top to cover the kabob stick hole. This recipe makes about three cookie sheets. Place each ball in a Christmas paper and then package into containers for gifts.

This recipe makes about 130 small BonBon's

Once again I'm feeling the holiday spirit, I might have to make this a yearly tradition! I will be randomly giving away a small box of these BonBon's! All you need to do is leave a comment here on this post and I will pick the winner Sunday Morning. Good luck!

Enjoy!
