BON BON anyone?

2 cups powdered sugar

3 cups flaked coconut

4 T evaporated milk

2 T butter, softened

1 t vanilla

1 (12oz) pkg chocolate chips

2 T shortening

almonds (optional)

2 cubes of white chocolate

Place waxed paper on baking sheet.

Combine powdered sugar, coconut, milk, butter, and vanilla. Stir until well blended. Shape into 1-inch balls and place on waxed paper. Place in refrigerator until firm.

Combine chocolate chips and shortening in small bowl and microwave for 2 minutes; stirring at 30 second intervals until chocolate is melted and smooth.

Dip coconut bonbons in chocolate using a toothpick. Return to waxed paper. Refrigerate until set up.

Place one cube (white chocolate) at a time in small sandwich bag and microwave for 1 to 2 minutes, stopping every 20 seconds to mash the bag, until white chocolate is melted. Snip the very tip of the corner and drizzle across bonbons and return to refrigerator until set.

DH said he really liked this one; compared it to an Almond Joy.

He also like them better at room temp even though they get a little soft.

If you notice changes to this recipe, I am still tweaking it to perfection! :-)
