Peppermint lovers, these bon bons are for you! A chocolate cookie base is topped with a peppermint patty and dipped in chocolate for the final step in their creation. They’re a wonderful holiday treat, and you can make them in any size you choose.
Materials and Equipment Required
You’ll require:
Use two cups of semisweet chocolate chips and one can of sweetened condensed milk.
Half a teaspoon of peppermint essence One-fourth of a cup of coarsely chopped candy canes or peppermint candies
Waxed paper
You’ll need a saucepan, a wooden spoon, and a heat-safe bowl to make the candy. A piping bag, or a zip-top bag with one corner clipped off, is also required.
Detailed Instructions
Set oven temperature to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
Cream the butter and sugar in a medium bowl until pale and creamy. Mix in the peppermint and vanilla extracts.
Sift the flour, cocoa powder, and salt into a third basin. Combine this with the butter mixture in three increments, stirring after each addition.
Once the baking sheet is ready, roll the dough into 1-inch balls and set them on the sheet. Use your thumb or a tiny spoon to press down on the middle of each ball.
Put the cookies in the oven and bake for 8 minutes, or until the edges are firm but the centers are still soft. Put on a cooling rack for a few minutes before stuffing with Peppermint Patties after you’ve taken them out of the oven.
How to Bake Delicious Bon-Bons
To make the best bon bons possible, it’s important to remember a few simple guidelines. The first step is to coat the candy in high-quality chocolate. A sleek and shiny end result is guaranteed.
