I was making my bon bons and I realized I had an error in the recipe I sent you. If you choose to add an liqueur, the amount is 4-6 tablespoons not 2-3.
Â
With that said, you might want to taste test after 2-3 tablespoons. Each liqueur has a different taste strength and you don't want to over do it.Â
Here is the updated recipe:
Â
Â
Simple Boozy Bon Bons
Â
(note that these can be made without the liqueur as well.)
Â
40 Bon Bons (half the recipe if you want fewer balls)
Â
1 1/2 cup heavy whipping cream
4 cups semi- or bittersweet chocolate morsels (splurge on the good stuff)
4-6 tablespoons of your choice of liqueur
Â
1. In saucepan, bring cream to just a boil and then remove the heat.
2. Add the chocolate morsels, and stir until completely melted.
3. Stir in 4 tablespoons of your booze choice (6 tablespoons if using coffee liqueur). You might want to taste test after 2 to 3 tablespoons before adding 4 or more.
4. Pour chocolate mixture into a large pan (9X9 or bigger) and refrigerate until mixture is firm but not solid (about 1 hour).Â
5. Use a 1-inch baller or spring-loaded ice cream scoop to scoop the mixture into balls and place on baking sheet lined with parchment paper.Â
6. Freeze until set (about 15 minutes).
7. Roll balls in hands to smooth out the edges.
8. Add coatings and toppings if desired.
Â
I'll be adding white chocolate dollop to the top of the peppermint bon bon and sprinkling crushed candy cane on the top. If I can find chocolate covered espresso beans, I'll add one of those to the top of the coffee (Kahlua) bon bon.Â

Let me know if you try this recipe!
