Peanut Butter Bonbons. Makes approx 24
125g Raisins
125g icing sugar
125g peanut butter
25g butter
50-75g of Plain chocolate if just dipping the top of each bonbon
125g Plain chocolate if dipping the whole bonbon.
1. Melt the butter in the TM bowl 1min 30 sec/37c/ speed 2
2. Add the raisins chop 5sec/speed 6.
3. Add icing sugar and peanut butter chop5sec/ speed 6
4. Scrape down the TM bowl with a spatula and chop again 5sec/speed 6
5.Shape the mixture into balls and leave on parchment paper to harden overnight.
Next day
6. Melt chocolate.(I melted mine in a small bowl over a pan of simmering water.You could use a microwave)
7. Either dip the top if each bonbon in the melted chocolate or like I did carefully dip the whole Bonbon in melted chocolate.Place each bonbon on parchment to thoroughly dry.(I then melted a little white chocolate and drizzled over the set/dry bonbons.) When dry place in petite four papers.
(I suggest if you are experiencing hot weather you chill the bonbons in the fridge.Especially when you have dipped them in chocolate)
I made 25 pieces weighing approx 16g each.
Recipe supplied by Margaret Heywood printed in " The Complete Farmhouse Kitchen Cookbook"

CC do u have a photo of the inside ,just wondering if u can feel the raisins whlie eating them.
-
In the second photo I a cut bonbon to show the texture Uni.I used seedless raisins so they shouldn't be gritty.You could try dates ;)
DH was very surprised by the taste and really enjoyed it and wouldn't have if I told him it contained raisins. :-)) He's just had a second :o
DS just loved them.
-
Yum!! I love peanut butter. I might try these with dates instead. They look great.
-
thanks for cutting 1 up for me, who ate it ;D
i have dates :-)) will give them try today. u dont need to dip them in chocolate the same day do you CC
-

No you don't dip them in chocolate the same day you make them Uni.They need to dry overnight.I kept mine on my kitchen counter top under a food umbrella.

It’s taken me a few days to finish these off
While i was dipping them in the chocolate i said to myself never again way 2 fiddle for me
The few i made a few days ago i used dark chocolate i really don’t like dark chocolate but after tasting one they are ok
Today i used milk chocolate and OMG these taste like a Scorched Peanut Bars one of my all time fav
Yes i will be making them again very soon ;D
-
They look great Uni ;D

Well done Uni. How many did you eat while making them??

Hope mine look as good, made this afternoon, DS thought they looked good enough to eat with out chocolate, he didn't get a chance to try.
-
Well done Uni. How many did you eat while making them??

-
These look yummy cc.. 😀 Thx
-
Got these in the fridge now, ready for chocolate dipping tomorrow :)
-
They don't look as good as CC's or Uni's ;D
I tried to do the white chocolate on top like Uni's but it didn't work so they ended up being blobs :-))
-
They look good to me Amy ;) ;D
-
Thanks CC ;D
I noticed after I took this photo that the white chocolate on one of them looks like a love heart! :D
-
Ah! I can see that one. ;) :D
-
Thank you for a great recipe CC. These did not last long, I think some found their way into a container to be taken home. Very nice
Marie
-
these freeze well b4 dipping in the chocolate
-
Thanks, Uni... Take it from me everyone! These are TDF!!!!!
-
And I'll second that notion GF ;D
-
Bumping this one for Christmas hampers. I didn't get around to making them last year but I've just done the first stage and will coat them in chocolate in the morning. I used smooth peanut butter and mine were obviously a little smaller than CC's as I managed to make 30 balls. So easy to make and roll but with a nice round number of balls I was disappointed I didn't have an odd number so that I could taste one :-))
-
All finished, must say I really hate the dipping part of any recipe but when they're all finished you forget about that. I used milk chocolate instead of dark as it is my preference even though I won't be eating too many of them :-)) Lovely Christmas treat CC, now to find some nice little patty pans to present them in.
-
They look great Judy.
-
They taste very nice too, thanks Kimmy.
-
Glad you liked them Judy ;) They look so good ;D
-
Oh wow! Gotta make some, but need a party where nuts are allowed :D
-
Have your own private party BZB, there's not enough to share too many around ;)
Thanks Denise, if you were here when I made them, you would have been given the dipping job :D
-
i only counted 24 JD :-))
-
There were a few more in another container Uni but I did eat a couple, by the time I got to the end of the dipping, the chocolate had started hardening so what's a girl to do but sample one to make sure they are good enough to hand around to visitors. ;D
-
A very serious bump here!! ;D These are amazingly wonderful!! ;D ;D
-
Made these as a giveaway for friends last weekend and loved them..
They taste soo yumm and as I blitzed the raisins a bit more, you could never say that they had raisins in it :)
Will surely be making them again, a simple recipe to make and looks so professional..
The only part which was a bit fiddly for me was dipping as I have never done it before, but as I kept doing it, got a knack of it,
the next time I am sure they will look a little prettier :)
Thanks CC for sharing a lovely recipe!
-
I aways find dipping things in chocolate is a messy job thermilover but you certainly did get the hang of it and these little morsels are certainly worth the effort.
-
So glad you liked them thermilover.Yours look lovely 8)
