Chocolate Bon Bons

I clearly remember the first time my Mom had me try these. She brought some for a special event but would not divulge the ingredients. You know how some people are, if they like something they ask for the recipe.

Later when I asked her for the recipe, she warned me I might not believe her. Of course I believed her but the ingredients were surprising.

And even better, very easy to use to make.

How to Make Chocolate Bon Bons

You will need:

Creamy peanut butter

Ritz crackers

Chocolate almond bark

Wax paper

Test how much peanut butter you like in the center. Test, test, test! (Charlotte Ekker Wiggins photo)

To make:

Add peanut butter to the center of a cracker and top with a second one.

Microwave chocolate almond bark per directions until melted.

Move the sandwich around chocolate to make sure it is coated on all sides. (Charlotte Ekker Wiggins photo)

Dip the cracker sandwich in the chocolate and make sure it is coated on all sides.

Place on wax paper. Allow to dry. Or place in refrigerator to set the almond bark.

Store in a freezer bag or sealed metal can.

These would also be fun to make with miniature crackers with peanut butter.

This would be a perfect recipe to add to our “Write Your Own Cookbook Gift set.” Easy and delicious to make, it’s a great way to introduce someone to working in a kitchen.

Sweet Nutty Treat

Sometimes you want something sweet to end your meal  and these nutty treats are easy, and fun, to make.

Using mini-vanilla wafers, add a dab of melted chocolate to the bottom. Attach a Hershey kiss.

Once dry, use a toothpick to dab a tiny stem on the top.

Takes 5 minutes from start to finish and adds charm to any dish as a sweet, desert garnish.

Acorns, any one?
