Ingredients

Peanut butter filling
  • ½ cup peanut butter I use Jif creamy for baking
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 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

    Cup of Yum
  1. Combine the peanut butter and butter in a small pan and melt over low heat until combined.
  2. Off the heat, stir in powdered sugar until smooth, making sure to mash out any lumps in your sugar.
  3. 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.
  4. Temper chocolate and use a thin layer to fill your molds. Let cool to room temperature.
  5. Add your bonbon filling and flatten, leaving enough space in your mold for a thin layer of chocolate for the bottom of your bonbon.
  6. Re-temper your chocolate if necessary and add a thin layer of chocolate to your mold.
  7. 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.
