Bonbons

01Method

1. 1

   Gather all ingredients and have them ready before starting.

2. 2

   Combine the margarine, powdered sugar, condensed milk, coconut, walnuts, and vanilla in a large bowl, mixing until everything is well incorporated. Cover the bowl and refrigerate until the mixture is firm enough to shape into balls, approximately 2 hours.

3. 3

   Shape the chilled mixture into 1-inch balls and arrange them on cookie sheets, leaving a little space between each. Transfer to the freezer until solid.

4. 4

   While the balls are freezing, lay waxed paper on a cookie sheet or flat surface. Melt the chocolate chips together with the shortening in a double boiler over simmering water, stirring until smooth.

5. 5

   Using a toothpick or fork, dip each frozen ball into the melted chocolate until fully coated.

6. 6

   Set the coated bonbons on the waxed paper and allow them to dry completely before serving.
