Amaretto Bon Bon Balls Recipes

Steps:

• Blend all the ingredients together and shape into 30 one-inch balls.
• If the mixture turns out too wet/dry, balance it out by adding more powdered (icing) sugar to dry it out or more liquor to moisten it up.
• Roll the balls in extra powdered sugar, cocoa powder or chocolate milk powder.
• Store in an airtight container for at least one week before sampling.
• I have also successfully stored them in the refrigerator and in the freezer.

Steps:

• Soak pecans in bourbon 3 hours or overnight, stirring occasionally.
• In a large mixer bowl, beat margarine, vanilla and salt until fluffy.
• Gradually beat in sweetened condensed milk, then pecan mixture and confectioners sugar until well blended.
• Shape into 1 inch balls.
• Place on baking sheets.
• Chill until firm.
• With fork or wooden pick, dip each into warm candy coating; let excess coating drip off.
• Place on wax paper lined baking sheets; let stand until firm.
• Store covered at room temperature or in refrigerator.

Steps:

• Finely crush vanilla sugar wafers in a food processor and measure out 3 cups worth.
• Finely crush 1 cup of whole pecans in a food processor.
• Mix wafers, nuts, powdered sugar, and cocoa.
• Stir in bourbon and corn syrup.
• Using a teaspoon to help gather mixture for each ball, shape mixture into 3/4" to 1" balls.
• Rolls balls in powdered sugar. I do this by dropping batches of the balls into a ziplock bag with a bit of powdered sugar in it. Refill some sugar into ziplock bag as needed.
• Refrigerate in tightly covered containers several days before serving (though they are very yummy right away!).
• Makes about 5 to 8 dozen balls.

Steps:

• Combine water and sugars in a saucepan over medium heat. Heat until the mixture is boiling, and all of the sugar is dissolved. Remove the pan from the heat and let the mixture cool for 10 minutes.
• Stir vodka, almond extract and vanilla extract into the mixture. Store in a sealed bottle.

Steps:

• Heat chipits, milk and extract in double boiler or microwave. (Melt them.)

• Form into balls. Roll in almonds and store in fridge.

Steps:

• In a heavy saucepan, over low heat, melt chocolate chips with the sweetened condensed milk.
• Stir in amaretto and almond extract.
• Chill for 2 hours.
• Shape into 3/4" balls and roll in nuts.
• Chill until firm.
• Store at room temperature in an airtight container.
• Flavor will improve after 24 hours.
• You can adjust the amount of amaretto to your taste, depending on how strong you want the taste.
