Expert Tips

• peanut butter – Smooth peanut butter gives a creamy filling but I used crunchy peanut butter with roasted chopped peanuts in it. I love crunchy bits here and there. You can use both creamy or crunchy.
• chilling – Make sure to chill the dough before rolling as it helps to tighten the dough making it easier to roll otherwise it will become sticky. Even after rolling, cool the balls before dipping them in chocolate.
• balance -The peanut butter I used has salt in it. You can also add a pinch of salt to the filling.
• melt chocolate – Always melt chocolate using the double boiler method or using short microwave bursts. The slow melting helps keep it from burning. Melt the chocolate until smooth, runny and shiny.
• Dip – Coat peanut butter balls completely with chocolate, tapping to remove excess. I always use a fork which makes the job easier.
• setting – You can set it at room temperature or in the fridge, depending on the climatic conditions outside.
• storage – Keep the bon bons in an airtight container in the refrigerator or freezer. Proper storage keeps them fresh and prevents them from melting.
