Ingredients
Peanut butter filling
- ½ cup peanut butter I use Jif creamy for baking
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 cup powdered sugar sifted if really clumpy
Chocolate for molding or dipping
- 1 pound chocolate any kind, but do not use chocolate chips
Instructions
- Combine the peanut butter and butter in a small pan and melt over low heat until combined.
- Off the heat, stir in powdered sugar until smooth, making sure to mash out any lumps in your sugar.
- Let cool, either at room temperature or transfer to a bowl and put in the fridge, depending on how quickly you want to make the bonbons.
- Temper chocolate and use a thin layer to fill your molds. Let cool to room temperature.
- Add your bonbon filling and flatten, leaving enough space in your mold for a thin layer of chocolate for the bottom of your bonbon.
- Re-temper your chocolate if necessary and add a thin layer of chocolate to your mold.
- Let cool to room temperature and unmold. Tempered chocolate bonbons can be stored at cool room temperature.

Notes
- The peanut butter filling can be used either to fill molds lined with chocolate as described in the recipe or for dipping into tempered chocolate.
- Fill the warm peanut butter mixture into molds or scoop them into rounds and freeze them briefly while you are tempering your chocolate.
