Cuisine: American
Serves: 20 bon bons
Ingredients
- 1 cup almond flour
- 1/2 cup powdered sugar
- 1/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
- 1/2 cup almond butter
- 1 tsp vanilla extract
- 1/2 cup dark chocolate chips, melted
Instructions
- Begin by gathering all your ingredients: 1 cup of almond flour, 1/2 cup of powdered sugar, 1/4 cup of unsweetened cocoa powder, 1/2 cup of almond butter, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1/2 cup of dark chocolate chips.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the almond flour, powdered sugar, and cocoa powder. Whisk these dry ingredients together until they are well blended and free of lumps.
- Add the almond butter and vanilla extract to the dry mixture. Using a spatula or your hands, mix until the ingredients are fully incorporated and form a sticky dough.
- Once the dough is well combined, use your hands to roll the mixture into small balls, about 1 inch in diameter. You should be able to form around 20 bon bons from this mixture.
- Place the rolled bon bons on a parchment-lined baking sheet, ensuring they are spaced apart to prevent sticking.
- Next, melt the dark chocolate chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Once the chocolate is melted, dip each almond bon bon into the chocolate, making sure to coat it completely. Use a fork to lift it out, allowing any excess chocolate to drip off before placing it back on the parchment-lined baking sheet.
- After all the bon bons are dipped in chocolate, place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes, or until the chocolate has fully set.
- Once the chocolate has hardened, your Darla's Almond Bon Bons are ready to be served. Enjoy them as a delightful treat or store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips
- Make sure your almond butter is at room temperature for easier mixing and smoother dough consistency.
- Use a cookie scoop or small ice cream scoop to create uniform-sized bon bons for consistent results.
- For a professional look, use high-quality dark chocolate with at least 70% cocoa content.
- If the dough feels too sticky, refrigerate it for 15 minutes before rolling into balls.
- To prevent chocolate from cracking, let the bon bons come to room temperature slowly after refrigerating.
- For added texture, you can sprinkle some crushed almonds on top of the chocolate coating before it sets.
- Store bon bons in an airtight container between layers of parchment paper to maintain their shape and freshness.
